The striptags function in PHP 4.x up to 4.3.7, and 5.x up to 5.0.0RC3, does not filter null (\0) characters within tag names when restricting input to allowed tags, which allows dangerous tags to be processed by web browsers such as Internet Explorer and Safari, which ignore null characters and facilitate the exploitation of cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities.

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.

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.

The mbparsestr function in PHP 4.0.0 through 4.4.6 and 5.0.0 through 5.2.1 sets the internal registerglobals flag and does not disable it in certain cases when a script terminates, which allows remote attackers to invoke available PHP scripts with registerglobals functionality that is not detectable by these scripts, as demonstrated by forcing a memorylimit violation.

The importrequestvariables function in PHP 4.0.7 through 4.4.6, and 5.x before 5.2.2, when called without a prefix, does not prevent the (1) GET, (2) POST, (3) COOKIE, (4) FILES, (5) SERVER, (6) SESSION, and other superglobals from being overwritten, which allows remote attackers to spoof source IP address and Referer data, and have other unspecified impact. NOTE: it could be argued that this is a design limitation of PHP and that only the misuse of this feature, i.e. implementation bugs in applications, should be included in CVE. However, it has been fixed by the vendor.

Multiple integer overflows in the (1) createwbmp and (2) readwbmp functions in wbmp.c in the GD library (libgd) in PHP 4.0.0 through 4.4.6 and 5.0.0 through 5.2.1 allow context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via Wireless Bitmap (WBMP) images with large width or height values.

Use-after-free vulnerability in the Zend engine in PHP before 5.2.15 and 5.3.x before 5.3.4 might allow context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (heap memory corruption) or have unspecified other impact via vectors related to use of set, get, isset, and unset methods on objects accessed by a reference.

Argument injection vulnerability in certain PHP 3.x, 4.x, and 5.x applications, when used with sendmail and when accepting remote input for the additionalparameters argument to the mail function, allows remote attackers to read and create arbitrary files via the sendmail -C and -X arguments. NOTE: it could be argued that this is a class of technology-specific vulnerability, instead of a particular instance; if so, then this should not be included in CVE.

The zendrestoreinientrycb function in zendini.c in PHP 5.3.0, 5.2.10, and earlier versions allows context-specific attackers to obtain sensitive information (memory contents) and cause a PHP crash by using the iniset function to declare a variable, then using the inirestore function to restore the variable.

Race condition in the symlink function in PHP 5.1.6 and earlier allows local users to bypass the openbasedir restriction by using a combination of symlink, mkdir, and unlink functions to change the file path after the openbasedir check and before the file is opened by the underlying system, as demonstrated by symlinking a symlink into a subdirectory, to point to a parent directory via .. (dot dot) sequences, and then unlinking the resulting symlink.

The memorylimit functionality in PHP 4.x up to 4.3.7, and 5.x up to 5.0.0RC3, under certain conditions such as when registerglobals is enabled, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by triggering a memorylimit abort during execution of the zendhashinit function and overwriting a HashTable destructor pointer before the initialization of key data structures is complete.

Buffer overflow in the makehttpsoaprequest function in PHP before 5.2.2 has unknown impact and remote attack vectors, possibly related to "/" (slash) characters.

The ovrimoslongreadlen function in the Ovrimos extension for PHP before 4.4.5 allows context-dependent attackers to write to arbitrary memory locations via the resultid and length arguments.

The ovrimosclose function in the Ovrimos extension for PHP before 4.4.5 can trigger efree of an arbitrary address, which might allow context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code.

CRLF injection vulnerability in the mbsendmail function in PHP before 5.1.0 might allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary e-mail headers via line feeds (LF) in the "To" address argument.

The exifreaddata function in the Exif module in PHP before 4.4.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a malformed JPEG image.

The IMAP functionality in PHP before 4.3.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via an e-mail message with a (1) To or (2) From header with an address that contains a large number of "\" (backslash) characters.

The parsestr function in PHP 4.x up to 4.4.0 and 5.x up to 5.0.5, when called with only one parameter, allows remote attackers to enable the registerglobals directive via inputs that cause a request to be terminated due to the memorylimit setting, which causes PHP to set an internal flag that enables registerglobals and allows attackers to exploit vulnerabilities in PHP applications that would otherwise be protected.

PHP before 5.3.4 accepts the \0 character in a pathname, which might allow context-dependent attackers to bypass intended access restrictions by placing a safe file extension after this character, as demonstrated by .php\0.jpg at the end of the argument to the fileexists function.

The phpifimapmimeheaderdecode function in the IMAP functionality in PHP before 4.2.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via an e-mail header with a long "To" header.

The imapheader function in the IMAP functionality for PHP before 4.3.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via an e-mail message with a large number of "To" addresses, which triggers an error in the rfc822writeaddress function.

CRLF injection vulnerability in PHP 4.2.1 through 4.2.3, when allowurlfopen is enabled, allows remote attackers to modify HTTP headers for outgoing requests by causing CRLF sequences to be injected into arguments that are passed to the (1) fopen or (2) file functions.

The mail function in PHP 4.x to 4.2.2 does not filter ASCII control characters from its arguments, which could allow remote attackers to modify mail message content, including mail headers, and possibly use PHP as a "spam proxy."

PHP before 5.1.3-RC1 might allow remote attackers to obtain portions of memory via crafted binary data sent to a script that processes user input in the htmlentitydecode function and sends the encoded results back to the client, aka a "binary safety" issue. NOTE: this issue has been referred to as a "memory leak," but it is an information leak that discloses memory contents.

The SQLite functionality in PHP before 5.3.15 allows remote attackers to bypass the openbasedir protection mechanism via unspecified vectors.

The mail function in PHP 4.0.0 through 4.4.6 and 5.0.0 through 5.2.1 truncates e-mail messages at the first ASCIIZ ('\0') byte, which might allow context-dependent attackers to prevent intended information from being delivered in e-mail messages. NOTE: this issue might be security-relevant in cases when the trailing contents of e-mail messages are important, such as logging information or if the message is expected to be well-formed.

The zip:// URL wrapper provided by the PECL zip extension in PHP before 4.4.7, and 5.2.0 and 5.2.1, does not implement safemode or openbasedir checks, which allows remote attackers to read ZIP archives located outside of the intended directories.

The phpbinary serialization handler in the session extension in PHP before 4.4.5, and 5.x before 5.2.1, allows context-dependent attackers to obtain sensitive information (memory contents) via a serialized variable entry with a large length value, which triggers a buffer over-read.

Buffer underflow in PHP before 5.2.1 allows attackers to cause a denial of service via unspecified vectors involving the sapiheaderop function.

The iconvmimedecodeheaders function in the Iconv extension in PHP before 5.3.4 does not properly handle encodings that are unrecognized by the iconv and mbstring (aka Multibyte String) implementations, which allows remote attackers to trigger an incomplete output array, and possibly bypass spam detection or have unspecified other impact, via a crafted Subject header in an e-mail message, as demonstrated by the ksc5601-1987 character set.
