Subject: CVE-2008-2829: unsafe imap library usage leads to buffer overflows

Date: Wed, 24 Sep 2008 08:47:27 +0200

Package: php5
Version: 5.2.0-8+etch11
Severity: important

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

via http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-2829:

php_imap.c in PHP 5.2.5, 5.2.6, 4.x, and other versions, uses obsolete API
calls that allow context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service
(crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a long IMAP request,
which triggers an "rfc822.c legacy routine buffer overflow" error message.


note that this issue is already fixed in lenny and sid, but a fix may
not be possible without an update to the imap library itself, which does
not provide the updated/safe api in the version available in etch.

remain open for older distributions.
