Fedora 26: php-pear-PHP-CodeSniffer Critical Update for Code Execution Risk

PHP_CodeSniffer provides functionality to verify that code conforms to

certain standards, such as PEAR, or user-defined.

**Version 3.0.1** - This release contains a fix for a **security advisory**

related to the improper handling of a shell command - A properly crafted

filename would allow for arbitrary code execution when using the

--filter=gitmodified command line option - All version 3 users are

encouraged to upgrade to this version, especially if you are checking 3rd-party

code - e.g., you run PHPCS over libraries that you did not write

- e.g., you provide a web service that runs PHPCS over user-uploaded files or

3rd-party repositories - e.g., you allow external tool paths to be set

by user-defined values - If you are unable to upgrade but you check 3rd-party code, ensure you are not using the Git modified filter - This advisory

does not affect PHP_CodeSniffer version 2. - Thanks to Sergei Morozov for

the report and patch - Arguments on the command line now override or merge with

those specified in a ruleset.xml file in all cases - PHPCS now stops looking for

a phpcs.xml file as soon as one is found, favoring the closest one to the

current dir - Added missing help text for the --stdin-path CLI option to --help

- Re-added missing help text for the --file-list and --bootstrap CLI options to

--help - Runner::runPHPCS() and Runner::runPHPCBF() now return an exit code

instead of exiting directly (request #1484) - The Squiz standard now enforces

short array syntax by default - The autoloader is now working correctly with

classes created with class_alias() - The autoloader will now search for files

inside all directories in the installed_paths config var - This allows

autoloading of files inside included custom coding standards without manually

requiring them - You can now specify a namespace for a custom coding standard,

used by the autoloader to load non-sniff helper files - Also used by the

autoloader to help other standards directly include sniffs for your standard

- Set the value to the namespace prefix you are using for sniff files

(everything up to \Sniffs\) - e.g., if your namespace format is

MyProject\CS\Standard\Sniffs\Category set the namespace to MyProject\CS\Standard

- If ommitted, the namespace is assumed to be the same as the directory name

containing the ruleset.xml file - The namespace is set in the ruleset tag of

the ruleset.xml file - e.g., ruleset name="My Coding Standard"

namespace="MyProject\CS\Standard" - Rulesets can now specify custom autoloaders

using the new autoload tag - Autloaders are included while the ruleset is

being processed and before any custom sniffs are included - Allows for very

custom autoloading of helper classes well before the boostrap files are included

- The PEAR standard now includes Squiz.Commenting.DocCommentAlignment - It

previously broke comments onto multiple lines, but didn't align them - Fixed a

problem where excluding a message from a custom standard's own sniff would

exclude the whole sniff - This caused some PSR2 errors to be under-reported

- Fixed bug #1442 : T_NULLABLE detection not working for nullable parameters and

return type hints in some cases - Fixed bug #1447 : Running the unit tests with

a phpunit config file breaks the test suite - Unknown arguments were not

being handled correctly, but are now stored in $config->unknown - Fixed bug

#1449 : Generic.Classes.OpeningBraceSameLine doesn't detect comment before

opening brace - Thanks to Juliette Reinders Folmer for the patch - Fixed bug

#1450 : Coding standard located under an installed_path with the same directory

name throws an error - Thanks to Juliette Reinders Folmer for the patch -Fixed bug #1451 : Sniff exclusions/restrictions dont work with custom sniffs

unless they use the PHP_CodeSniffer NS - Fixed bug #1454 :

Squiz.WhiteSpace.OperatorSpacing is not checking spacing on either side of a

short ternary operator - Thanks to Mponos George for the patch - Fixed bug

#1495 : Setting an invalid installed path breaks all commands - Fixed bug #1496

: Squiz.Strings.DoubleQuoteUsage not unescaping dollar sign when fixing -Thanks to Micha? Bundyra for the patch - Fixed bug #1501 : Interactive mode is

broken - Fixed bug #1504 : PSR2.Namespaces.UseDeclaration hangs fixing use

statement with no trailing code

su -c 'dnf upgrade php-pear-PHP-CodeSniffer' at the command line.
