Description Raphael Marichez (Falco) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-08-03 05:12:25 UTC
i think the buffer overflow is hardly exploitable remotely, since the attacker has to control the arguments of the wordwrap() function.  ---> A2 "only".

"PHP 4.4.3. Release Announcement

The PHP development team is proud to announce the release of PHP 4.4.3. This release combines small number of bug fixes and resolves a number of security issues. All PHP users are encouraged to upgrade to this release as soon as possible.

The security issues resolved include the following:

    * Disallow certain characters in session names.
    * Fixed a buffer overflow inside the wordwrap() function.
    * Prevent jumps to parent directory via the 2nd parameter of the tempnam() function.
    * Improved safe_mode check for the error_log() function.
    * Fixed cross-site scripting inside the phpinfo() function.
    * Fixed offset/length parameter validation inside the substr_compare() function.

The release also includes about 20 bug fixes and an upgraded PCRE library (version 6.6)."
