Description Mark J. Cox 2006-05-03 09:16:18 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #178028 +++

PHP 5.1.2 has been released:
http://www.php.net/release_5_1_2.php

The release announcement mentions this security fix:
    * Possible cross-site scripting problems in certain error conditions.

The problem exists in the way PHP displays error messages.  This issue is only
exploitable when 'display_errors' and 'html_errors' are both set to 'On' in the
PHP configuration file.  When a HTML error message was being generated, the
output was not properly sanitized, which could allow an attacker to insert
arbitrary HTML, thus allowing a XSS attack.

This issue is only exploitable if 'html_errors' is on, which the configuration
file cleary states should not be used on production machines.

I have verified this flaw exists in the PHP 4.3 and 5.1 branches.
