  <title>PHP: Multiple vulnerabilities</title>
  <synopsis>
    Several vulnerabilities were found and fixed in PHP image handling
    functions, potentially resulting in Denial of Service conditions or the
    remote execution of arbitrary code.

    <p>
    PHP is a general-purpose scripting language widely used to develop
    web-based applications. It can run inside a web server using the
    mod_php module or the CGI version of PHP, or can run stand-alone in a
    CLI.

  <description>
    <p>
    An integer overflow and an unbound recursion were discovered in
    the processing of Image File Directory tags in PHP's EXIF module
    (CAN-2005-1042, CAN-2005-1043). Furthermore, two infinite loops have
    been discovered in the getimagesize() function when processing IFF or
    JPEG images (CAN-2005-0524, CAN-2005-0525).
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="high">
    <p>
    A remote attacker could craft an image file with a malicious EXIF
    IFD tag, a large IFD nesting level or invalid size parameters and send
    it to a web application that would process this user-provided image
    using one of the affected functions. This could result in denying
    service on the attacked server and potentially executing arbitrary code
    with the rights of the web server.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All PHP users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=dev-php/php-4.3.11&quot;</code>
    <p>
    All mod_php users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=dev-php/mod_php-4.3.11&quot;</code>
    <p>
    All php-cgi users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=dev-php/php-cgi-4.3.11&quot;</code>
