			SCO Security Advisory

Subject:		Linux: php bypass safe_mode and injected control chars vulnerabilities
Advisory number: 	CSSA-2003-008.0
Issue date: 		2003 March 04
Cross reference:
______________________________________________________________________________


1. Problem Description

	Two vulnerabilities exists in the mail() PHP function. The
	first one allows execution of any program/script, bypassing the
	safe_mode restriction. The second one may allow an open-relay
	if the mail() function is not carefully used in PHP scripts.


2. Vulnerable Supported Versions

	System				Package
	----------------------------------------------------------------------

	OpenLinux 3.1.1 Server		prior to php-4.0.6-4.i386.rpm
					prior to php-doc-4.0.6-4.i386.rpm

	OpenLinux 3.1.1 Workstation	prior to php-4.0.6-4.i386.rpm
					prior to php-doc-4.0.6-4.i386.rpm

	OpenLinux 3.1 Server		prior to php-4.0.6-4.i386.rpm
					prior to php-doc-4.0.6-4.i386.rpm

	OpenLinux 3.1 Workstation	prior to php-4.0.6-4.i386.rpm
					prior to php-doc-4.0.6-4.i386.rpm


3. Solution

	The proper solution is to install the latest packages. Many
	customers find it easier to use the Caldera System Updater, called
	cupdate (or kcupdate under the KDE environment), to update these
	packages rather than downloading and installing them by hand.
