The safe mode checks in PHP 4.x to 4.3.9 and PHP 5.x to 5.0.2 truncate the file path before passing the data to the realpath function, which could allow attackers to bypass safe mode. NOTE: this issue was originally REJECTed by its CNA before publication, but that decision is in active dispute. This candidate may change significantly in the future as a result of further discussion.

PHP 4.x to 4.3.9, and PHP 5.x to 5.0.2, when running in safe mode on a multithreaded Unix webserver, allows local users to bypass safemodeexecdir restrictions and execute commands outside of the intended safemodeexecdir via shell metacharacters in the current directory name. NOTE: this issue was originally REJECTed by its CNA before publication, but that decision is in active dispute. This candidate may change significantly in the future as a result of further discussion.

Unspecified vulnerability in the phpstreamscandir function in the stream implementation in PHP before 5.3.15 and 5.4.x before 5.4.5 has unknown impact and remote attack vectors, related to an "overflow."

zendhashdelkeyorindex in zendhash.c in PHP before 4.4.3 and 5.x before 5.1.3 can cause zendhashdel to delete the wrong element, which prevents a variable from being unset even when the PHP unset function is called, which might cause the variable's value to be used in security-relevant operations.

The c-client library 2000, 2001, or 2004 for PHP before 4.4.4 and 5.x before 5.1.5 do not check the (1) safemode or (2) openbasedir functions, and when used in applications that accept user-controlled input for the mailbox argument to the imapopen function, allow remote attackers to obtain access to an IMAP stream data structure and conduct unauthorized IMAP actions.

PHP 4.x and 5.x before 5.2.1, when running on multi-threaded systems, does not ensure thread safety for libc crypt function calls using protection schemes such as a mutex, which creates race conditions that allow remote attackers to overwrite internal program memory and gain system access.

PHP 4.0.0 through 4.4.6 and 5.0.0 through 5.2.1 allows context-dependent attackers to read arbitrary memory locations via an interruption that triggers a user space error handler that changes a parameter to an arbitrary pointer, as demonstrated via the iptcembed function, which calls certain convertto functions with its input parameters.

CRLF injection vulnerability in the mail function in PHP 4.0.0 through 4.4.6 and 5.0.0 through 5.2.1 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary e-mail headers and possibly conduct spam attacks via a control character immediately following folding of the (1) Subject or (2) To parameter, as demonstrated by a parameter containing a "\r\n\t\n" sequence, related to an increment bug in the SKIPLONGHEADERSEP macro.

The compress.bzip2:// URL wrapper provided by the bz2 extension in PHP before 4.4.7, and 5.x before 5.2.2, does not implement safemode or openbasedir checks, which allows remote attackers to read bzip2 archives located outside of the intended directories.

The RFC1867 file upload feature in PHP 4.x up to 4.4.0 and 5.x up to 5.0.5, when registerglobals is enabled, allows remote attackers to modify the GLOBALS array and bypass security protections of PHP applications via a multipart/form-data POST request with a "GLOBALS" fileupload field.

Unspecified vulnerability in PHP before 4.4.1, when using the virtual function on Apache 2, allows remote attackers to bypass safemode and openbasedir directives.

Multiple vulnerabilities in PHP before 4.4.1 allow remote attackers to bypass safemode and openbasedir restrictions via unknown attack vectors in (1) ext/curl and (2) ext/gd.

PHP before 4.4.3 and 5.x before 5.1.4 does not limit the character set of the session identifier (PHPSESSID) for third party session handlers, which might make it easier for remote attackers to exploit other vulnerabilities by inserting PHP code into the PHPSESSID, which is stored in the session file. NOTE: it could be argued that this not a vulnerability in PHP itself, rather a design limitation that enables certain attacks against session handlers that do not account for this limitation.

The (1) MySQL and (2) MySQLi extensions in PHP 4 before 4.4.8, and PHP 5 before 5.2.4, allow remote attackers to bypass safemode and openbasedir restrictions via MySQL LOCAL INFILE operations, as demonstrated by a query with LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE.

Buffer overflow in the sqlitedecodebinary function in src/encode.c in SQLite 2, as used by PHP 4.x through 5.x and other applications, allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via an empty value of the in parameter. NOTE: some PHP installations use a bundled version of sqlite without this vulnerability. The SQLite developer has argued that this issue could be due to a misuse of the sqlitedecodebinary() API.

Integer overflow in the strreplace function in PHP 4 before 4.4.5 and PHP 5 before 5.2.1 allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via a single character search string in conjunction with a long replacement string, which overflows a 32 bit length counter. NOTE: this is probably the same issue as CVE-2007-0906.6.

Integer overflow in the msgreceive function in PHP 4 before 4.4.5 and PHP 5 before 5.2.1, on FreeBSD and possibly other platforms, allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via certain maxsize values, as demonstrated by 0xffffffff.

Buffer overflow in the imapmailcompose function in PHP 5 before 5.2.1, and PHP 4 before 4.4.5, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long boundary string in a type.parameters field. NOTE: as of 20070411, it appears that this issue might be subsumed by CVE-2007-0906.3.

Integer overflow in the zipreadentry function in PHP 4 before 4.4.5 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a ZIP archive that contains an entry with a length value of 0xffffffff, which is incremented before use in an emalloc call, triggering a heap overflow.

The session extension in PHP 4 before 4.4.5, and PHP 5 before 5.2.1, calculates the reference count for the session variables without considering the internal pointer from the session globals, which allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted string in the sessionregister after unsetting HTTPSESSIONVARS and SESSION, which destroys the session data Hashtable.

The shmop functions in PHP before 4.4.5, and before 5.2.1 in the 5.x series, do not verify that their arguments correspond to a shmop resource, which allows context-dependent attackers to read and write arbitrary memory locations via arguments associated with an inappropriate resource, as demonstrated by a GD Image resource.

The Zend Engine in PHP 4.x before 4.4.7, and 5.x before 5.2.2, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (stack exhaustion and PHP crash) via deeply nested arrays, which trigger deep recursion in the variable destruction routines.

sapi/cgi/cgimain.c in the CGI component in PHP through 5.4.36, 5.5.x through 5.5.20, and 5.6.x through 5.6.4, when mmap is used to read a .php file, does not properly consider the mapping's length during processing of an invalid file that begins with a # character and lacks a newline character, which causes an out-of-bounds read and might (1) allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information from php-cgi process memory by leveraging the ability to upload a .php file or (2) trigger unexpected code execution if a valid PHP script is present in memory locations adjacent to the mapping.

Multiple integer overflows in PHP 4 before 4.4.8, and PHP 5 before 5.2.4, allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information (memory contents) or cause a denial of service (thread crash) via a large len value to the (1) strspn or (2) strcspn function, which triggers an out-of-bounds read. NOTE: this affects different product versions than CVE-2007-3996.

The moneyformat function in PHP 5 before 5.2.4, and PHP 4 before 4.4.8, permits multiple (1) %i and (2) %n tokens, which has unknown impact and attack vectors, possibly related to a format string vulnerability.

Buffer overflow in the userfilterfactorycreate function in PHP before 5.2.2 has unknown impact and local attack vectors.

The (1) sessionsavepath, (2) iniset, and (3) errorlog functions in PHP 4.4.7 and earlier, and PHP 5 5.2.3 and earlier, when invoked from a .htaccess file, allow remote attackers to bypass safemode and openbasedir restrictions and possibly execute arbitrary commands, as demonstrated using (a) phpvalue, (b) phpflag, and (c) directives in .htaccess.

Multiple integer signedness errors in the printf function family in PHP 4 before 4.4.5 and PHP 5 before 5.2.1 on 64 bit machines allow context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via (1) certain negative argument numbers that arise in the phpformattedprint function because of 64 to 32 bit truncation, and bypass a check for the maximum allowable value; and (2) a width and precision of -1, which make it possible for the phpsprintfappendstring function to place an internal buffer at an arbitrary memory location.

PHP 4 before 4.4.5, and PHP 5 before 5.2.1, when registerglobals is enabled, allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via deserialization of session data, which overwrites arbitrary global variables, as demonstrated by calling sessiondecode on a string beginning with "SESSION|s:39:".

The resource system in PHP 4.0.0 through 4.4.6 and 5.0.0 through 5.2.1 allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code by interrupting certain functions in the GD (ext/gd) extension and unspecified other extensions via a userspace error handler, which can be used to destroy and modify internal resources.
