TITLE

PHP of printf Function family integer sign error vulnerability

DESCRIPTION

Multiple integer signedness errors in the printf function family in PHP 4 before 4.4.5 and PHP 5 before 5.2.1 on 64 bit machines allow context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via (1) certain negative argument numbers that arise in the php_formatted_print function because of 64 to 32 bit truncation, and bypass a check for the maximum allowable value; and (2) a width and precision of -1, which make it possible for the php_sprintf_appendstring function to place an internal buffer at an arbitrary memory location. PHP is prone to multiple format-string vulnerabilities due to a design error when casting 64-bit variables to 32 bits. Attackers may be able to exploit these issues to execute arbitrary code in the context of the webserver process or to cause denial-of-service conditions. These issues affect PHP versions prior to 4.4.5 and 5.2.1 running on 64-bit computers. An attacker who plays by ear can execute arbitrary code with the help of specific negative parameter numbers. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 SUPPORT COMMUNICATION - SECURITY BULLETIN Document ID: c01086137 Version: 1 HPSBTU02232 SSRT071429 rev.1 - Secure Web Server for HP Tru64 UNIX Powered by Apache (SWS) or HP Internet Express for Tru64 UNIX running PHP, Remote Arbitrary Code Execution, Unauthorized Disclosure of Information, or Denial of Service (DoS) NOTICE: The information in this Security Bulletin should be acted upon as soon as possible.
