#2009-017 PHP multiple issues

Description:

PHP, an open source scripting language, suffers from several bugs that may
pose a security risk.

The reported issues have been discovered in several API functions, issues
include buffer overflows, near null reads/writes, arbitrary memory read
and an off-by-one issue. Some of the issues have been previously reported
in older versions of PHP but they either have not been fixed or they were
re-introduced in a later time. The issues have been discovered in both
core and, in some cases, PECL functions/classes/methods.

The following methods have been fixed.

ibase_pconnect
ibase_connect
com_print_typeinfo
popen
mssql_connect
mssql_pconnect
SplFileObject
DOMImplementation->createDocumentType
documentation()->public_id
SDO_DAS_ChangeSummary->beginLogging
SDO_DAS_Setting->getPropertyIndex
SDO_SequenceImpl->getProperty

The following methods have been removed in PHP 5.3, they are still
available without fixes in 5.2.11.

msql_close
msql_connect
msql_pconnect
msql_select_db
msql_list_tables

Affected version:

PHP < 5.3.1

Fixed version:

PHP >= 5.3.1
