PHP » PHP : Security Vulnerabilities Published In 2002

php.exe in PHP 3.0 through 4.2.2, when running on Apache, does not terminate properly, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a direct request without arguments.

The imap_header function in the IMAP functionality for PHP before 4.3.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via an e-mail message with a large number of "To" addresses, which triggers an error in the rfc822_write_address function.

The php_if_imap_mime_header_decode function in the IMAP functionality in PHP before 4.2.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via an e-mail header with a long "To" header.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the phpinfo function in PHP 4.2.3 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the query string argument, as demonstrated using soinfo.php.

CRLF injection vulnerability in PHP 4.2.1 through 4.2.3, when allow_url_fopen is enabled, allows remote attackers to modify HTTP headers for outgoing requests by causing CRLF sequences to be injected into arguments that are passed to the (1) fopen or (2) file functions.

The mail function in PHP 4.x to 4.2.2 does not filter ASCII control characters from its arguments, which could allow remote attackers to modify mail message content, including mail headers, and possibly use PHP as a "spam proxy."

Argument injection vulnerability in the mail function for PHP 4.x to 4.2.2 may allow attackers to bypass safe mode restrictions and modify command line arguments to the MTA (e.g. sendmail) in the 5th argument to mail(), altering MTA behavior and possibly executing commands.

PHP 4.2.0 and 4.2.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via an HTTP POST request with certain arguments in a multipart/form-data form, which generates an error condition that is not properly handled and causes improper memory to be freed.

move_uploaded_file in PHP does not does not check for the base directory (open_basedir), which could allow remote attackers to upload files to unintended locations on the system.

PHP, when not configured with the "display_errors = Off" setting in php.ini, allows remote attackers to obtain the physical path for an include file via a trailing slash in a request to a directly accessible PHP program, which modifies the base path, causes the include directive to fail, and produces an error message that contains the path.

Safe Mode feature (safe_mode) in PHP 3.0 through 4.1.0 allows attackers with access to the MySQL database to bypass Safe Mode access restrictions and read arbitrary files using "LOAD DATA INFILE LOCAL" SQL statements.

PHP 4.0 through 4.1.1 stores session IDs in temporary files whose name contains the session ID, which allows local users to hijack web connections.

Buffer overflows in (1) php_mime_split in PHP 4.1.0, 4.1.1, and 4.0.6 and earlier, and (2) php3_mime_split in PHP 3.0.x allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a multipart/form-data HTTP POST request when file_uploads is enabled.
