                Mandrake Linux Security Update Advisory
________________________________________________________________________

Package name:           php
Advisory ID:            MDKSA-2003:082-1
Date:                   August 12th, 2003
Original Advisory Date: August 4th, 2003
Affected versions:	8.2, Multi Network Firewall 8.2
________________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

 A vulnerability was discovered in the transparent session ID support
 in PHP4 prior to version 4.3.2.  It did not properly escape user-
 supplied input prior to inserting it in the generated web page.  This
 could be exploited by an attacker to execute embedded scripts within
 the context of the generated HTML (CAN-2003-0442).
 
 As well, two vulnerabilities had not been patched in the PHP packages
 included with Mandrake Linux 8.2:  The mail() function did not filter
 ASCII control filters from its arguments, which could allow an attacker
 to modify the mail message content (CAN-2002-0986).  Another
 vulnerability in the mail() function would allow a remote attacker to
 bypass safe mode restrictions and modify the command line arguments
 passed to the MTA in the fifth argument (CAN-2002-0985).
 
 All users are encouraged to upgrade to these patched packages.
  
Update:

 The packages for Mandrake Linux 8.2 and Multi-Network Firewall 8.2,
 due to improper BuildRequires did not include mail() support.  This
 update corrects that problem.
