The remote host is missing an update to php
announced via advisory MDVSA-2008:128.
A number of vulnerabilities have been found and corrected in PHP:
php-cgi in PHP prior to 5.2.6 does not properly calculate the length
of PATH_TRANSLATED, which has unknown impact and attack vectors
(CVE-2008-0599).
The escapeshellcmd() API function in PHP prior to 5.2.6 has unknown
impact and context-dependent attack vectors related to incomplete
multibyte characters (CVE-2008-2051).
Weaknesses in the GENERATE_SEED macro in PHP prior to 4.4.8 and 5.2.5
were discovered that could produce a zero seed in rare circumstances on
32bit systems and generations a portion of zero bits during conversion
due to insufficient precision on 64bit systems (CVE-2008-2107,
CVE-2008-2108).
The IMAP module in PHP uses obsolete API calls that allow
context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash)
via a long IMAP request (CVE-2008-2829).
In addition, the updated packages provide a number of bug fixes.
The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.
Affected: 2008.1
Solution:
To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification
of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you.
