Package : php5
Vulnerability : several
Problem type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CVE-2013-1635 CVE-2013-1643
Debian Bug : 702221

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in PHP, the web scripting
language. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies
the following issues:

CVE-2013-1635

If a PHP application accepted untrusted SOAP object input remotely
from clients, an attacker could read system files readable for the
webserver.

CVE-2013-1643

The soap.wsdl_cache_dir function did not take PHP open_basedir
restrictions into account. Note that Debian advises against relying
on open_basedir restrictions for security.

For the stable distribution (squeeze), these problems have been fixed in
version 5.3.3-7+squeeze15.

For the testing distribution (wheezy), these problems will be fixed soon.

For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in
version 5.4.4-14.

We recommend that you upgrade your php5 packages.
