Php · Php · CVE-2006-1490
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
PHP versions prior to 5.1.3-RC1
PHP versions 5.1.2 and prior
PHP versions 5.0.5 and prior
PHP versions 4.4.2 and prior
PHP versions 4.3.11 and prior
Description:
The issue is related to the `html entity decode()` function in PHP, which is not binary safe. This can be exploited to disclose certain parts of the memory via a script calling the `html entity decode()` function with input controlled by the attacker and where the result is sent to the attacker. Information gathered by exploiting this issue may aid other attacks.
Recommendations:
For PHP versions 5.1.2 and prior, update to version 5.1.3-RC1 or later.
For PHP versions 5.0.5 and prior, update to version 5.0.6 or later, or to version 5.1.3-RC1 or later.
For PHP versions 4.4.2 and prior, update to version 4.4.3 or later, or to version 5.1.3-RC1 or later.
For PHP versions 4.3.11 and prior, update to version 4.3.12 or later, or to version 5.1.3-RC1 or later.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the `html entity decode()` function until a patch is available.
