    - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Debian Security Advisory DSA-1949-1 [email protected] http://www.debian.org/security/ Raphael Geissert
    December 12, 2009 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
    - ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Package : php-net-ping
    Vulnerability : programming error
    Problem type : remote
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE Id : CVE-2009-4024

    It was discovered that php-net-ping, a PHP PEAR module to execute ping independently of the Operating System, performs insufficient input
    sanitising, which might be used to inject arguments (no CVE yet) or
    execute arbitrary commands (CVE-2009-4024) on a system that uses
    php-net-ping.


    For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
    version 2.4.2-1+lenny1.

    For the oldstable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in
    version 2.4.2-1+etch1.

    For the testing distribution (squeeze), this problem will be fixed
    soon.

    For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
    version 2.4.2-1.1.


    We recommend that you upgrade your php-net-ping packages.
