PHP is a general purpose scripting language widely used in World Wide Web (WWW) pages and applications.
PHP was found to contain a Denial of Service (DoS) issue when handling deeply nested arrays. A malicious user could potentially cause the PHP interpreter to crash when sending input with a deeply nested array. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2007-1285 to this issue.
PHP's mb_parse_str() function was found to contain an issue when setting global variables. If a PHP script used the mb_parse_str() function, it could possibly be used to force the enablement of the register_globals configuration parameter. If this happened, it could allow for global variables to be injected into a PHP environment. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2007-1583 to this issue.
PHP's mail() function was found to contain an issue when processing email header data. A malicious user could possibly send arbitrary email messages if a PHP script allowed the Subject header of an email to be defined by a user. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2007-1718 to this issue.
PHP's gd extension was found to contain a buffer overflow vulnerability. If a malicious user could get a PHP script to process a specially crafted WBMP image file, it could possibly allow for arbitrary code execution. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2007-1001 to this issue.
PHP's gd extension was found to contain a buffer over-read condition. The PHP interpreter could possibly crash if a script was made to write arbitrary strings in a JIS font. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2007-0455 to this issue.
