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

PHP before 5.3.9 has improper libxslt security settings, which allows remote attackers to create arbitrary files via a crafted XSLT stylesheet that uses the libxslt output extension.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

The session extension in PHP before 5.2.4 might allow local users to bypass openbasedir restrictions via a session file that is a symlink.

The sessionstart function in ext/session in PHP 4.x up to 4.4.7 and 5.x up to 5.2.3 allows remote attackers to insert arbitrary attributes into the session cookie via special characters in a cookie that is obtained from (1) PATHINFO, (2) the sessionid function, and (3) the sessionstart function, which are not encoded or filtered when the new session cookie is generated, a related issue to CVE-2006-0207.

Multiple integer overflows in the chunksplit function in PHP 5 before 5.2.3 and PHP 4 before 4.4.8 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or execute arbitrary code via the (1) chunks, (2) srclen, and (3) chunklen arguments.

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

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.

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.

PHP 4 before 4.4.5 and PHP 5 before 5.2.1, when using an empty session save path (session.savepath), uses the TMPDIR default after checking the restrictions, which allows local users to bypass openbasedir restrictions.

Buffer overflow in the phpstreamfiltercreate function in PHP 5 before 5.2.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a php://filter/ URL that has a name ending in the '.' character.

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 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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.
