Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.1.12.2005.112.1
Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu: Security Advisory (USN-112-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'php4' package(s) announced via the USN-112-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'php4' package(s) announced via the USN-112-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
An integer overflow was discovered in the exif_process_IFD_TAG()
function in PHP4's EXIF module. EXIF tags with a specially crafted
'Image File Directory' (IFD) tag caused a buffer overflow which could
have been exploited to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of
the PHP4 server. (CAN-2005-1042)

The same module also contained a Denial of Service vulnerability. EXIF
headers with a large IFD nesting level caused an unbound recursion
which would eventually overflow the stack and cause the executed
program to crash. (CAN-2005-1043)

In web applications that automatically process EXIF tags of uploaded
images, both vulnerabilities could be exploited remotely.

Affected Software/OS:
'php4' package(s) on Ubuntu 4.10.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
7.5
