Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.71470
Category:Debian Local Security Checks
Title:Debian: Security Advisory (DSA-2492-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'php5' package(s) announced via the DSA-2492-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'php5' package(s) announced via the DSA-2492-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
The Phar extension for PHP does not properly handle crafted tar files, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow. PHP applications processing tar files could crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code.

In addition, this update addresses a regression which caused a crash when accessing a global object that is returned as $this from __get.

For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 5.3.3-7+squeeze13.

For the testing distribution (wheezy) and the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 5.4.4~
rc1-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your php5 packages.

Affected Software/OS:
'php5' package(s) on Debian 6.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
7.5
