Three issues have been found in php5, a server-side, HTML-embedded scripting language.
A one byte out-of-bounds read, which could potentially lead to information disclosure or crash.
An URL containing zero (\0) character will be truncated at it, which may cause some software to make incorrect assumptions and possibly send some information to a wrong server.
Using a malformed url-encoded string an Out-of-Bounds read can occur.
For Debian 8 Jessie
, these problems have been fixed in version
5.6.40+dfsg-0+deb8u11.
We recommend that you upgrade your php5 packages.
