Like the other PHP bugs, this one is mentioned in 230556, but not explicitly closed and documented in any errata that I can find. ------------------------------------------------------------------- The session extension in PHP 4 before 4.4.5, and PHP 5 before 5.2.1, calculates the reference count for the session variables without considering the internal pointer from the session globals, which allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted string in the session_register after unsetting HTTP_SESSION_VARS and _SESSION, which destroys the session data Hashtable. * MISC:http://www.php-security.org/MOPB/MOPB-30-2007.html * DEBIAN:DSA-1283 * URL:http://www.debian.org/security/2007/dsa-1283 * UBUNTU:USN-455-1 * URL:http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-455-1 * BID:23119 * URL:http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/23119 * SECUNIA:25062 * URL:http://secunia.com/advisories/25062
