Summary
php5 vulnerabilities
Details

Francisco Alonso discovered that the PHP Fileinfo component incorrectly handled certain CDF documents. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause PHP to hang or crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2014-0207, CVE-2014-3478, CVE-2014-3479, CVE-2014-3480, CVE-2014-3487)

Stefan Esser discovered that PHP incorrectly handled unserializing SPL extension objects. An attacker could use this issue to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2014-3515)

It was discovered that PHP incorrectly handled certain SPL Iterators. An attacker could use this issue to cause PHP to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2014-4670)

It was discovered that PHP incorrectly handled certain ArrayIterators. An attacker could use this issue to cause PHP to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2014-4698)

Stefan Esser discovered that PHP incorrectly handled variable types when calling phpinfo(). An attacker could use this issue to possibly gain access to arbitrary memory, possibly containing sensitive information. (CVE-2014-4721)
