Description Victor Pereira 2014-07-07 07:16:14 UTC 
CVE-2014-4721

The phpinfo implementation in ext/standard/info.c in PHP before 5.4.30 and 5.5.x
before 5.5.14 does not ensure use of the string data type for the PHP_AUTH_PW,
PHP_AUTH_TYPE, PHP_AUTH_USER, and PHP_SELF variables, which might allow
context-dependent attackers to obtain sensitive information from process memory
by using the integer data type with crafted values, related to a "type
confusion" vulnerability, as demonstrated by reading a private SSL key in an
Apache HTTP Server web-hosting environment with mod_ssl and a PHP 5.3.x mod_php.
