This update fixes the JSON parser (CVE-2009-1271) and the zip packer code (CVE-2009-1272) in php5. Both bugs can lead to a remote denial of service attack.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201001-03 (PHP: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in PHP. Please review the     CVE identifiers referenced below and the associated PHP release notes     for details.
  Impact :

    A context-dependent attacker could execute arbitrary code via a     specially crafted string containing an HTML entity when the mbstring     extension is enabled. Furthermore a remote attacker could execute     arbitrary code via a specially crafted GD graphics file.
    A remote attacker could also cause a Denial of Service via a malformed     string passed to the json_decode() function, via a specially crafted     ZIP file passed to the php_zip_make_relative_path() function, via a     malformed JPEG image passed to the exif_read_data() function, or via     temporary file exhaustion. It is also possible for an attacker to spoof     certificates, bypass various safe_mode and open_basedir restrictions     when certain criteria are met, perform Cross-site scripting attacks,     more easily perform SQL injection attacks, manipulate settings of other     virtual hosts on the same server via a malicious .htaccess entry when     running on Apache, disclose memory portions, and write arbitrary files     via a specially crafted ZIP archive. Some vulnerabilities with unknown     impact and attack vectors have been reported as well.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

The remote host is running a version of Mac OS X 10.5 or 10.4 that does not have Security Update 2009-005 applied.

This security update contains fixes for the following products :

  - Alias Manager
  - CarbonCore
  - ClamAV
  - ColorSync

  - ImageIO
  - Launch Services
  - MySQL
  - PHP

  - Wiki Server

According to its banner, the version of PHP installed on the remote host is older than 5.2.9.  Such versions may be affected by several security issues :

  - Background color is not correctly validated with a non true     color image in function 'imagerotate()'. (CVE-2008-5498)

  - A denial of service condition can be triggered by trying to     extract zip files that contain files with relative paths     in file or directory names.

  - Function 'explode()' is affected by an unspecified     vulnerability.

  - It may be possible to trigger a segfault by passing a     specially crafted string to function 'json_decode()'.

  - Function 'xml_error_string()' is affected by a flaw     which results in messages being off by one.

According to its banner, the version of PHP 5.x installed on the remote host is older than 5.2.9.  Such versions may be affected by several security issues :

  - Background color is not correctly validated with a non-true color image in function 'imagerotate()'. (CVE-2008-5498)

  - A denial of service condition can be triggered by trying to extract zip files that contain files with relative paths in file or directory names.

  - Function 'explode()' is affected by an unspecified vulnerability.

  - It may be possible to trigger a segfault by passing a specially crafted string to function 'json_decode()'.

  - Function 'xml_error_string()' is affected by a flaw that results in messages being off by one." );
