Title: PECL HTTP: Remote execution of arbitrary code
Date: December 07, 2016
Bugs: #587466
ID: 201612-17
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
Synopsis
========
A buffer overflow in PECL HTTP might allow remote attackers to execute
arbitrary code.
Background
==========
This HTTP extension aims to provide a convenient and powerful
set of functionality for one of PHPs major applications.
Affected packages
=================
——————————————————————-
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
——————————————————————-
1 dev-php/pecl-http < 2.5.6 *>= 2.5.6
Description
===========
A buffer overflow can be triggered in the URL parsing functions of the
PECL HTTP extension. This allows overflowing
a buffer with data originating from an arbitrary HTTP request.
Impact
======
A remote attacker, through a specially crafted URI, could possibly
execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the process.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All PECL HTTP users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge –sync
# emerge –ask –oneshot –verbose “>=dev-php/pecl-http-2.5.6”
