CVE-2008-0599

La función init_request_info en sapi/cgi/cgi_main.c en PHP en versiones anteriores a 5.2.6 no considera correctamente la precedencia del operador cuando calcula la longitud de PATH_TRANSLATED, lo que podrían permitir a atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario a través de una URI manipulada.

The htmlentities() and htmlspecialchars() functions in PHP prior to 5.2.5 accepted partial multibyte sequences, which has unknown impact and attack vectors. The output_add_rewrite_var() function in PHP prior to 5.2.5 rewrites local forms in which the ACTION attribute references a non-local URL, which could allow a remote attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information by reading the requests for this URL. php-cgi in PHP prior to 5.2.6 does not properly calculate the length of PATH_TRANSLATED, which has unknown impact and attack vectors. The escapeshellcmd() API function in PHP prior to 5.2.6 has unknown impact and context-dependent attack vectors related to incomplete multibyte characters. Weaknesses in the GENERATE_SEED macro in PHP prior to 4.4.8 and 5.2.5 were discovered that could produce a zero seed in rare circumstances on 32bit systems and generations a portion of zero bits during conversion due to insufficient precision on 64bit systems. The IMAP module in PHP uses obsolete API calls that allow context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a long IMAP request. In addition, this update also corrects an issue with some float to string conversions.
