Synopsis: Critical: php security update
Advisory ID: SLSA-2014:0311-1
Issue Date: 2014-03-18
CVE Numbers: CVE-2006-7243
 CVE-2009-0689
--

A buffer overflow flaw was found in the way PHP parsed floating point
numbers from their text representation. If a PHP application converted
untrusted input strings to numbers, an attacker able to provide such input
could cause the application to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code
with the privileges of the application. (CVE-2009-0689)

It was found that PHP did not properly handle file names with a NULL
character. A remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to make a PHP
script access unexpected files and bypass intended file system access
restrictions. (CVE-2006-7243)

After installing the updated packages, the httpd daemon must be restarted
for the update to take effect.
