DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in the Suhosin extension for PHP,
which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable
system.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the
transparent cookie encryption. If cookie encryption is enabled
(disabled by default), this can be exploited to cause a stack-based
buffer overflow by e.g. sending specially crafted input to an
affected script.
Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code, but
e.g. requires an application to pass untrusted input to the
"header()" function when setting a cookie and a weak Suhosin
configuration (e.g. multiheader option enabled and NULL-byte
protection disabled, both not default).
The vulnerability is reported in versions prior to 0.9.33.
SOLUTION:
Update to version 0.9.33.
PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Reported by the vendor.
