Category:	Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:	Ubuntu: Security Advisory (USN-99-2)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'php4' package(s) announced via the USN-99-2 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'php4' package(s) announced via the USN-99-2 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: USN-99-1 fixed a safe mode bypass which allowed malicious PHP scripts to circumvent path restrictions by creating a specially crafted directory whose length exceeded the capacity of the realpath() function (CAN-2004-1064). However, this caused severe regressions, some applications like SquirrelMail and Gallery did not work any more, and the package 'php4-pear' was empty. The current version repairs this. In addition this update fixes a crash of the PHP interpreter if curl_init() was called with a non-string argument. Please note that this is not security relevant since this condition usually cannot be triggered externally. Affected Software/OS: 'php4' package(s) on Ubuntu 4.10. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 10.0 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
