Synopsis: Moderate: php security, bug fix and enhancement update
Issue Date: 2013-02-21
CVE Numbers: CVE-2012-0831
 CVE-2012-2688
 CVE-2011-1398
--

It was found that PHP did not check for carriage returns in HTTP headers,
allowing intended HTTP response splitting protections to be bypassed.
Depending on the web browser the victim is using, a remote attacker could use this
flaw to perform HTTP response splitting attacks. (CVE-2011-1398)

An integer signedness issue, leading to a heap-based buffer underflow, was
found in the PHP scandir() function. If a remote attacker could upload an
excessively large number of files to a directory the scandir() function runs
on, it could cause the PHP interpreter to crash or, possibly, execute
arbitrary code. (CVE-2012-2688)

It was found that PHP did not correctly handle the magic_quotes_gpc
configuration directive. This could result in magic_quotes_gpc input
escaping not being applied in all cases, possibly making it easier for a remote
attacker to perform SQL injection attacks. (CVE-2012-0831)

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