Synopsis
========

Several vulnerabilities were found and fixed in PHP image handling
functions, potentially resulting in Denial of Service conditions or
the remote execution of arbitrary code.

Background
==========

PHP is a general-purpose scripting language widely used to develop
web-based applications. It can run inside a web server using the
mod_php module or the CGI version of PHP, or can run stand-alone in a
CLI.

Affected packages
=================

    -------------------------------------------------------------------
     Package          /  Vulnerable  /                      Unaffected
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
  1  dev-php/php          < 4.3.11                           >= 4.3.11
  2  dev-php/mod_php      < 4.3.11                           >= 4.3.11
  3  dev-php/php-cgi      < 4.3.11                           >= 4.3.11
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
     3 affected packages on all of their supported architectures.
    -------------------------------------------------------------------

Description
===========

An integer overflow and an unbound recursion were discovered in the
processing of Image File Directory tags in PHP's EXIF module
(CAN-2005-1042, CAN-2005-1043). Furthermore, two infinite loops have
been discovered in the getimagesize() function when processing IFF or
JPEG images (CAN-2005-0524, CAN-2005-0525).

Impact
======

A remote attacker could craft an image file with a malicious EXIF IFD
tag, a large IFD nesting level or invalid size parameters and send it
to a web application that would process this user-provided image using
one of the affected functions. This could result in denying service on
the attacked server and potentially executing arbitrary code with the
rights of the web server.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========

All PHP users should upgrade to the latest version:

    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-php/php-4.3.11"

All mod_php users should upgrade to the latest version:

    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-php/mod_php-4.3.11"

All php-cgi users should upgrade to the latest version:

    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-php/php-cgi-4.3.11"
