Synopsis
========

A vulnerability in PHP might allow an attacker to execute arbitrary
code.

Background
==========

PHP is an open source general-purpose scripting language that is
especially suited for web development.

Affected packages
=================

    -------------------------------------------------------------------
     Package              /     Vulnerable     /            Unaffected
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
  1  dev-lang/php                 < 7.1.33                  >= 7.1.33
                                  < 7.2.24                  >= 7.2.24
                                  < 7.3.11                  >= 7.3.11

Description
===========

A underflow in env_path_info in PHP-FPM under certain configurations
can be exploited to gain remote code execution.

Impact
======

A remote attacker, by sending special crafted HTTP requests, could
possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the process, or
cause a Denial of Service condition.

Workaround
==========

If patching is not feasible, the suggested workaround is to include
checks to verify whether or not a file exists before passing to PHP.

Resolution
==========

All PHP 7.1 users should upgrade to the latest version:

  # emerge --sync
  # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-lang/php-7.1.33"

All PHP 7.2 users should upgrade to the latest version:

  # emerge --sync
  # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-lang/php-7.2.24"

All PHP 7.3 users should upgrade to the latest version:

  # emerge --sync
  # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-lang/php-7.3.11"
