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.

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.

scanf.c in PHP 5.1.4 and earlier, and 4.4.3 and earlier, allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via a sscanf PHP function call that performs argument swapping, which increments an index past the end of an array and triggers a buffer over-read.

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 errorlog function in basicfunctions.c in PHP before 4.4.4 and 5.x before 5.1.5 allows local users to bypass safe mode and openbasedir restrictions via a "php://" or other scheme in the third argument, which disables safe mode.

The copy function in file.c in PHP 4.4.2 and 5.1.2 allows local users to bypass safe mode and read arbitrary files via a source argument containing a compress.zlib:// URI.

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.

Directory traversal vulnerability in file.c in PHP 4.4.2 and 5.1.2 allows local users to bypass openbasedir restrictions allows remote attackers to create files in arbitrary directories via the tempnam function.

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.

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.
