It was discovered that pcrecompile function in pcrecompile.c in PCRE before 8.38 mishandles certain [: nesting, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted regular expression.

It was found that PCRE before 8.38 mishandles certain repeated conditional groups whose condition was referenced by name if there was more than one group with the given name, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer overflow) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted regular expression.

It was discovered that PCRE before 8.38 mishandles the interaction of lookbehind assertions and mutually recursive subpatterns could provoke a buffer overflow, allowing remote attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer overflow) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted regular expression.

Fixed bug (AddressSanitizer: negative-size-param (-1) in mbflstrcut). (CVE-2016-4073)

An invalid write vulnerability causing segmentation fault in phar on filename with \0 inside its name was found.

Vulnerable code (pharanalyzepath):

if (!(realpath = expandfilepath(filename, NULL))) { efree(filename); return FAILURE; } #ifdef PHPWIN32 pharunixifypathseparators(realpath, strlen(realpath)); #endif slash = strstr(realpath, filename); if (slash) { slash += ((ext - fname) + extlen); slash = '\0'; }

If fname and thus filename contain \0's, realpath would not contain those parts and thus slash would point past the end of the realpath buffer.

To exploit this, application has to allow attacker to create phar files with arbitrary filenames.

ext/libxml/libxml.c in PHP before 5.5.22 and 5.6.x before 5.6.6, when PHP-FPM is used, does not isolate each thread from libxmldisableentityloader changes in other threads, which allows remote attackers to conduct XML External Entity (XXE) and XML Entity Expansion (XEE) attacks via a crafted XML document, a related issue to CVE-2015-5161.

A vulnerability was found in php. Zend/zendexceptions.c in PHP before 5.4.44, 5.5.x before 5.5.28, and 5.6.x before 5.6.12 does not validate certain Exception objects, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) or trigger unintended method execution via crafted serialized data.

Upstream bug:

PCRE before 8.38 mishandles the /(?:|a|){100}x/ pattern and related patterns, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite recursion) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted regular expression, as demonstrated by a JavaScript RegExp object encountered by Konqueror.

PCRE before 8.38 mishandles the [: and \\ substrings in character classes, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (uninitialized memory read) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted regular expression, as demonstrated by a JavaScript RegExp object encountered by Konqueror.

PCRE before 8.38 mishandles the (?(<digits>) and (?(R<digits>) conditions, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (integer overflow) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted regular expression, as demonstrated by a JavaScript RegExp object encountered by Konqueror.

Multiple use-after-free vulnerabilities in PHP before 5.4.45, 5.5.x before 5.5.29, and 5.6.x before 5.6.13 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via vectors related to (1) the Serializable interface, (2) the SplObjectStorage class, and (3) the SplDoublyLinkedList class, which are mishandled during unserialization.

A use-after-free vulnerability was found in session deserializer. When session deserializer (php/phpbinary) is deserializing multiple data, it will call phpvarunserialize() multiple times. We can create ZVAL and free it via the phpvarunserialize() with a crafted serialized string. Then the next call phpvarunserialize() will still allow to use R: or r: to set references to that already freed memory. It is possible to use-after-free attack and execute arbitrary code remotely.

The SoapClient implementation in PHP before 5.4.40, 5.5.x before 5.5.24, and 5.6.x before 5.6.8 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via an unexpected data type, related to "type confusion" issues in the (1) SoapClient::getLastRequest, (2) SoapClient::getLastResponse, (3) SoapClient::getLastRequestHeaders, (4) SoapClient::getLastResponseHeaders, (5) SoapClient::getCookies, and (6) SoapClient::setCookie methods.

A type confusion issue was found in exception::getTraceAsString(). If a specially crafted input is unserialized, it could lead to information leak and possibly code execution.

The issue was reported upstream in:

https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=69152#1425357025

A type confusion issue was found in the way PHP performed unserialization of incomplete class. If a specially crafted input is unserialized, it could lead to information leak and possibly code execution.

PHP versions 5.4.40, 5.5.24, and 5.6.8 provide a fix for type confusion vulnerability in unserialize() function used on a various SOAP methods.

Copy-paste description of the issue from the upstream bug: """ PHPMETHOD(SoapFault, toString) { ... faultcode = zendreadproperty(soapfaultclassentry, thisptr, "faultcode", sizeof("faultcode")-1, 1 TSRMLSCC); faultstring = zendreadproperty(soapfaultclassentry, thisptr, "faultstring", sizeof("faultstring")-1, 1 TSRMLSCC); file = zendreadproperty(soapfaultclassentry, thisptr, "file", sizeof("file")-1, 1 TSRMLSCC); line = zendreadproperty(soapfaultclassentry, thisptr, "line", sizeof("line")-1, 1 TSRMLSCC); ... len = spprintf(&str, 0, "SoapFault exception: [%s] %s in %s:%ld\nStack trace:\n%s", ZSTRVALP(faultcode), ZSTRVALP(faultstring), ZSTRVALP(file), ZLVALP(line), ZSTRLENP(trace) ? ZSTRVALP(trace) : "#0 {main}\n");

zvalptrdtor(&trace);

RETURNSTRINGL(str, len, 0); ｝

The ZSTRVALP macro lead to looking up an arbitrary valid memory address, and return a string via a integer-type zval that start from this memory address. If the memory address is an invalid memory position, it should result in a crash. The ZLVALP macro lead to leaking memory address via a string-type zval that string value stored.

The following code should leak arbitrary memory or crash PHP:

<?php

$data = 'O:9:"SoapFault":4:{s:9:"faultcode";i:4298448493;s:11:"faultstring";i:4298448543;s:7:"'."\0\0".'file";i:4298447319;s:7:"'."\0\0".'line";s:4:"ryat";}'; echo unserialize($data);

?>

Result (Test on standard MacOSX 10.10.2 installation of PHP 5.6.6.):

SoapFault exception: [UH??AWAVSPI??I??H???? in UH??AWAVAUATSH???:4307253992 ] UH??SPD????????t"H? Stack trace: #0 test.php(4): unserialize('O:9:"SoapFault"...') #1 {main} """

Integer overflow in the ftpgenlist function in ext/ftp/ftp.c in PHP before 5.4.42, 5.5.x before 5.5.26, and 5.6.x before 5.6.10 allows remote FTP servers to execute arbitrary code via a long reply to a LIST command, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2015-4022.

A heap-based buffer overflow was found in nsshostnamedigitsdots(), which is used by the gethostbyname() and gethostbyname2() glibc function call. A remote attacker could use this flaw to execute arbitary code with the permissions of the user running the application.

A signedness vulnerability was found in libgd 2.1.1 which may result into heap overflow when processing maliciously crafted .gd2 files.
