PHP openlog() Buffer Overflow
------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY
PHP openlog() function has been found to be prone to a buffer overflow.
Passing an overly long size to the function, caused it to overwrite
arbitrary memory, resulting in a denial of service. This overflow can be
futher extended to cause the program to execute arbitrary code. The
exploit code found below can be used to test your system for the mentioned
vulnerability.
DETAILS
Vulnerable Systems:
* PHP version 4.3.1 up to version 4.3.7
* PHP version 5.0 candidate 1
CVE Information:
<http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2003-0172>

/* This "Proof of Concept" sploit is only for Win2k SP4 + PHP 4.3.5 on
Apache
2.0.49*
Sploit tested with Apache 2.0.49 + PHP 4.3.5 on a Win2K SP4.
bugtraq says local exploit.
This bug is reported a long long time ago for v4.3.1
bugs.php.net does not have any status that refers to this bug while
reported.
The bug is still alive in v4.3.5 and probably newer versions as well,
CHANGELOG of versions to 4.3.7 does not mention the bugfix of openlog();

Getting a shell is better then parsing commands to the weblog.
mattmurphy@kc.rr.com wrote on bugtraq :
* Buffer overflow in openlog()
I've tried passing long parameters (and large integers) to openlog(). No
crashes could be caused by this "exploit". I was unable to demonstrate
any
disruption to PHP via this "vulnerability", let alone complete control.
Unless the vendor or the original reporter will confirm this with code
(which was, oddly enough, MISSING from the original advisory), I don't
believe this "flaw" (if it exists) can do any damage to a default
production system.
