ALAS-2013-224


Amazon Linux 1 Security Advisory: ALAS-2013-224
Advisory Release Date: 2013-09-19 15:28 Pacific
Advisory Updated Date: 2014-09-15 23:23 Pacific
Severity: Medium

Issue Overview:

Session fixation vulnerability in the Sessions subsystem in PHP before 5.5.2 allows remote attackers to hijack web sessions by specifying a session ID.

The openssl_x509_parse function in openssl.c in the OpenSSL module in PHP before 5.4.18 and 5.5.x before 5.5.2 does not properly handle a '\0' character in a domain name in the Subject Alternative Name field of an X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof arbitrary SSL servers via a crafted certificate issued by a legitimate Certification Authority, a related issue to CVE-2009-2408.
