Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.1.12.2005.66.2
Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu: Security Advisory (USN-66-2)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'php4' package(s) announced via the USN-66-2 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'php4' package(s) announced via the USN-66-2 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-66-1 described a circumvention of the
'open_basedir' restriction by using the cURL module. Adam Conrad
discovered that the fix from USN-66-1 still allowed to bypass this
restriction with certain variants of path specifications.

In addition this update fixes the crash of the PHP interpreter if
curl_init() was called without parameters.

For reference, this is the relevant part of the original advisory:

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.

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

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
5.0

CVSS Vector:
AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N
