Test ID:	1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.66745
Category:	Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:	Ubuntu USN-882-1 (php5)
Summary:	Ubuntu USN-882-1 (php5)
Description:	The remote host is missing an update to php5 announced via advisory USN-882-1. Details follow: Maksymilian Arciemowicz discovered that PHP did not properly handle the ini_restore function. An attacker could exploit this issue to obtain random memory contents or to cause the PHP server to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2009-2626) It was discovered that the htmlspecialchars function did not properly handle certain character sequences, which could result in browsers becoming vulnerable to cross-site scripting attacks when processing the output. With cross-site scripting vulnerabilities, if a user were tricked into viewing server output during a crafted server request, a remote attacker could exploit this to modify the contents, or steal confidential data (such as passwords), within the same domain. (CVE-2009-4142) Stefan Esser discovered that PHP did not properly handle session data. An attacker could exploit this issue to bypass safe_mode or open_basedir restrictions. (CVE-2009-4143) Solution: The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 6.06 LTS: php5-cgi 5.1.2-1ubuntu3.18 php5-cli 5.1.2-1ubuntu3.18 Ubuntu 8.04 LTS: php5-cgi 5.2.4-2ubuntu5.10 php5-cli 5.2.4-2ubuntu5.10 Ubuntu 8.10: php5-cgi 5.2.6-2ubuntu4.6 php5-cli 5.2.6-2ubuntu4.6 Ubuntu 9.04: php5-cgi 5.2.6.dfsg.1-3ubuntu4.5 php5-cli 5.2.6.dfsg.1-3ubuntu4.5 Ubuntu 9.10: php5-cgi 5.2.10.dfsg.1-2ubuntu6.4 php5-cli 5.2.10.dfsg.1-2ubuntu6.4 In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the necessary changes. http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=USN-882-1 Risk factor : Critical
