due to the RTLD_GLOBAL fixes. Please refer to /usr/share/doc/packages/php4/README.SuSE
for details.- A bug that can be exploited by remote attackers to bypass HTML tag filtering (cross-site-scripting prevention) by supplying special tags. These kind of tags should be ignored because they are not valid but they get accepted by some commercial web-browsers.
- A bug that can be exploited by remote attackers by triggering the
memory_limit
in unsafe states of a PHP execution path to execute arbitrary code. - Bugs caused by bad array parsing of the user input via
GET
,POST
andCOOKIE
. One could lead to overwriting variable$_FILES
, while the other could expose some pieces of PHP's memory to the attacker. - A bug that could disclose PHP source code under some circumstances.
- Various bugs in the unserializer (CAN-2004-1019)
- A buffer overflow in the EXIF parser (CAN-2004-1065)
- A bug in
readline()
that could lead to denial of service. - A bug in
getimagesize()
which could lead to denial of service (CAN-2005-0524, CAN-2005-0525) - Bugs in the EXIF parser could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code (CAN-2005-1042) or cause denial of service (CAN-2005-1043)).
- Bugs in the
PEAR::XML_RPC
library allowed remote attackers to pass arbitrary PHP code to theeval()
function (CAN-2005-1921, CAN-2005-2498). - An integer overflow bug was found in the pcre (perl compatible regular expression) library which could be used by an attacker to potentially execute code. (CAN-2005-2491)
- The
dlopen()
flag for opening php4 modules has been reverted back toRTLD_GLOBAL
, asRTDL_LOCAL
had some side effects when extensions likephp4-unixODBC
load their own libraries (unixODBC usesRTLD_GLOBAL
). - Pre-Requires tags of some sub-packages have been tweaked to aid computing the uninstall order.
- Performance problems of
unserialize()
caused by previous security update.
