Fedora Test Update Notification
FEDORA-2004-223
2004-07-19
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Product     : Fedora Core 2
Name        : php
Version     : 4.3.8                      
Release     : 2.1                  
Summary     : The PHP HTML-embedded scripting language. (PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor)
Description :
PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language. PHP attempts to make it
easy for developers to write dynamically generated webpages. PHP also
offers built-in database integration for several commercial and
non-commercial database management systems, so writing a
database-enabled webpage with PHP is fairly simple. The most common
use of PHP coding is probably as a replacement for CGI scripts. The
mod_php module enables the Apache Web server to understand and process
the embedded PHP language in Web pages.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

This update includes the latest release of PHP 4, including fixes for
security issues in memory limit handling (CVE CAN-2004-0594), and the
strip_tags function (CVE CAN-2004-0595).  CAN-2004-0595 is not known
to be exploitable in the default configuration if using httpd 2.0.50,
but can be triggered if the "register_globals" setting has been
enabled.  CAN-2004-0595 can allow a possible cross-site-scripting
attack with some browsers.

The mbstring extension has been moved into the php-mbstring subpackage
in this update to reduce the overall package size.
