Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.1.12.2005.66.1
Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu: Security Advisory (USN-66-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'php4' package(s) announced via the USN-66-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'php4' package(s) announced via the USN-66-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
FraMe from kernelpanik.org reported that the cURL module does not
respect open_basedir restrictions. As a result, scripts which used
cURL to open files with an user-specified path could read arbitrary
local files outside of the open_basedir directory.

Stefano Di Paola discovered a vulnerability in PHP's shmop_write()
function. Its 'offset' parameter was not checked for negative values,
which allowed an attacker to write arbitrary data to arbitrary memory
locations. A script which passed unchecked parameters to
shmop_write() could possibly be exploited to execute arbitrary code
with the privileges of the web server and to bypass safe mode
restrictions.

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

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
5.0
