CONECTIVA LINUX SECURITY ANNOUNCEMENT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------

PACKAGE : php4
SUMMARY : Fix for php4 vulnerability
DATE : 2005-07-14 10:44:00
ID : CLA-2005:980
RELEVANT
RELEASES : 9, 10

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------

DESCRIPTION
PHP[1] is a very popular scripting language used by web servers to
offer dynamic content.

This announcement fixes a XML_RPC vulnerability[2] that allows remote
attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code via an XML file, which is not
properly sanitized before being used in an eval statement.

SOLUTION
It is recommended that all PHP4 users upgrade their packages.

IMPORTANT:
If PHP4 is being used as an Apache module, the web server has to be
restarted after the upgrade if it was already running. To do so,
please run, as root:

# service httpd stop

(wait a few seconds and check with "ps ax|grep httpd" if there are
any httpd processes running. On a busy webserver this could take a
little longer.)

# service httpd start
