Fixed bug GHSA-3qgc-jrrr-25jv (Bypass of CVE-2012-1823, Argument Injection in PHP-CGI). (CVE-2024-4577)

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in PHP, possibly 5.2.7 and earlier, when displayerrors is enabled, allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via unspecified vectors. NOTE: because of the lack of details, it is unclear whether this is related to CVE-2006-0208.

Directory traversal vulnerability in the ZipArchive::extractTo function in PHP 5.2.6 and earlier allows context-dependent attackers to write arbitrary files via a ZIP file with a file whose name contains .. (dot dot) sequences.

PHP 5 before 5.2.7 does not enforce the errorlog safemode restrictions when safemode is enabled through a phpadminflag setting in httpd.conf, which allows context-dependent attackers to write to arbitrary files by placing a "phpvalue errorlog" entry in a .htaccess file.

PHP 5 before 5.2.7 does not properly initialize the pageuid and pagegid global variables for use by the SAPI phpgetuid function, which allows context-dependent attackers to bypass safemode restrictions via variable settings that are intended to be restricted to root, as demonstrated by a setting of /etc for the errorlog variable.

Heap-based buffer overflow in ext/mbstring/libmbfl/filters/mbfilterhtmlent.c in the mbstring extension in PHP 4.3.0 through 5.2.6 allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted string containing an HTML entity, which is not properly handled during Unicode conversion, related to the (1) mbconvertencoding, (2) mbcheckencoding, (3) mbconvertvariables, and (4) mbparsestr functions.

Array index error in the imageRotate function in PHP 5.2.8 and earlier allows context-dependent attackers to read the contents of arbitrary memory locations via a crafted value of the third argument (aka the bgdcolor or clrBack argument) for an indexed image.

session.c in the session extension in PHP before 5.2.13, and 5.3.1, does not properly interpret ; (semicolon) characters in the argument to the sessionsavepath function, which allows context-dependent attackers to bypass openbasedir and safemode restrictions via an argument that contains multiple ; characters in conjunction with a .. (dot dot).

Unspecified vulnerabilities in PHP, probably before 5.2.0, allow local users to bypass openbasedir restrictions and perform unspecified actions via unspecified vectors involving the (1) chdir and (2) tempnam functions. NOTE: the tempnam vector might overlap CVE-2006-1494.

Buffer overflow in PHP before 5.2.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted UTF-8 inputs to the (1) htmlentities or (2) htmlspecialchars functions.

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.

Integer overflow in PHP 5 up to 5.1.6 and 4 before 4.3.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an argument to the unserialize PHP function with a large value for the number of array elements, which triggers the overflow in the Zend Engine ecalloc function (Zend/zendalloc.c).

The unserialize function in PHP 5.3.0 and earlier allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (resource consumption) via a deeply nested serialized variable, as demonstrated by a string beginning with a:1: followed by many {a:1: sequences.

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.

The deserialization code in PHP before 4.3.10 and PHP 5.x up to 5.0.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and execute arbitrary code via untrusted data to the unserialize function that may trigger "information disclosure, double-free and negative reference index array underflow" results.

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.

Buffer overflow in the exifreaddata function in PHP before 4.3.10 and PHP 5.x up to 5.0.2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long section name in an image file.

The addslashes function in PHP 4.3.9 does not properly escape a NULL (/0) character, which may allow remote attackers to read arbitrary files in PHP applications that contain a directory traversal vulnerability in require or include statements, but are otherwise protected by the magicquotesgpc mechanism. 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.

phpvariables.c in PHP before 5.0.2 allows remote attackers to read sensitive memory contents via (1) GET, (2) POST, or (3) COOKIE GPC variables that end in an open bracket character, which causes PHP to calculate an incorrect string length.

rfc1867.c in PHP before 5.0.2 allows local users to upload files to arbitrary locations via a PHP script with a certain MIME header that causes the "$FILES" array to be modified.

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 apache2handler SAPI (sapiapache2.c) in the Apache module (modphp) for PHP 5.x before 5.1.0 final and 4.4 before 4.4.1 final allows attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault) via the session.savepath option in a .htaccess file or VirtualHost.

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.

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.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the phpinfo function in PHP 4.x up to 4.4.0 and 5.x up to 5.0.5 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a crafted URL with a "stacked array assignment."

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.

PHP 4.x up to 4.4.4 and PHP 5 up to 5.1.6 allows local users to bypass certain Apache HTTP Server httpd.conf options, such as safemode and openbasedir, via the inirestore function, which resets the values to their php.ini (Master Value) defaults.

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 ip2long function in PHP 5.1.4 and earlier may incorrectly validate an arbitrary string and return a valid network IP address, which allows remote attackers to obtain network information and facilitate other attacks, as demonstrated using SQL injection in the X-FORWARDED-FOR Header in index.php in MiniBB 2.0. NOTE: it could be argued that the ip2long behavior represents a risk for security-relevant issues in a way that is similar to strcpy's role in buffer overflows, in which case this would be a class of implementation bugs that would require separate CVE items for each PHP application that uses ip2long in a security-relevant manner.
