PHP — популярный язык сценариев общего назначения, особенно подходящий для веб-разработки.

PHP 4 before 4.4.5 and PHP 5 before 5.2.1, when using an empty session save path (session.save_path), uses the TMPDIR default after checking the restrictions, which allows local users to bypass open_basedir restrictions.

Buffer overflow in the bundled libxmlrpc library in PHP before 4.4.7, and 5.x before 5.2.2, has unknown impact and remote attack vectors.

Buffer overflow in the confirm_phpdoc_compiled function in the phpDOC extension (PECL phpDOC) in PHP 5.2.1 allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long argument string.

The MySQL extension in PHP 5.2.4 and earlier allows remote attackers to bypass safe_mode and open_basedir restrictions via the MySQL (1) LOAD_FILE, (2) INTO DUMPFILE, and (3) INTO OUTFILE functions, a different issue than CVE-2007-3997.

The GENERATE_SEED macro in PHP 4.x before 4.4.8 and 5.x before 5.2.5, when running on 64-bit systems, performs a multiplication that generates a portion of zero bits during conversion due to insufficient precision, which produces 24 bits of entropy and simplifies brute force attacks against protection mechanisms that use the rand and mt_rand functions.

PHP 5 before 5.2.3 does not enforce the open_basedir or safe_mode restriction in certain cases, which allows context-dependent attackers to determine the existence of arbitrary files by checking if the readfile function returns a string. NOTE: this issue might also involve the realpath function.

PHP before 5.2.1 allows attackers to bypass safe_mode and open_basedir restrictions via unspecified vectors in the session extension. NOTE: it is possible that this issue is a duplicate of CVE-2006-6383.

Integer overflow in the substr_compare function in PHP 5.2.1 and earlier allows context-dependent attackers to read sensitive memory via a large value in the length argument, a different vulnerability than CVE-2006-1991.

Double free vulnerability in the session extension in PHP 5.2.0 and 5.2.1 allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via illegal characters in a session identifier, which is rejected by an internal session storage module, which calls the session identifier generator with an improper environment, leading to code execution when the generator is interrupted, as demonstrated by triggering a memory limit violation or certain PHP errors.

Directory traversal vulnerability in the posix_access function in PHP 5.2.6 and earlier allows remote attackers to bypass safe_mode restrictions via a .. (dot dot) in an http URL, which results in the URL being canonicalized to a local filename after the safe_mode check has successfully run.
