Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update to php
announced via advisory MDVSA-2009:305.

Vulnerability Insight:
Some vulnerabilities were discovered and corrected in php:

PHP 5.2.11, and 5.3.x before 5.3.1, does not restrict the number
of temporary files created when handling a multipart/form-data POST
request, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service
(resource exhaustion), and makes it easier for remote attackers to
exploit local file inclusion vulnerabilities, via multiple requests,
related to lack of support for the max_file_uploads directive
(CVE-2009-4017).

The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.

Affected: Corporate 3.0, Corporate 4.0, Multi Network Firewall 2.0

Solution:
To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification
of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you.

CVSS Score:
5.0
