{"id":"UBUNTU-CVE-2014-9427","details":"sapi/cgi/cgi_main.c in the CGI component in PHP through 5.4.36, 5.5.x through 5.5.20, and 5.6.x through 5.6.4, when mmap is used to read a .php file, does not properly consider the mapping's length during processing of an invalid file that begins with a # character and lacks a newline character, which causes an out-of-bounds read and might (1) allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information from php-cgi process memory by leveraging the ability to upload a .php file or (2) trigger unexpected code execution if a valid PHP script is present in memory locations adjacent to the mapping.","modified":"2026-04-22T09:55:41.188872Z","published":"2015-01-02T00:00:00Z","related":["USN-2501-1"],"upstream":["CVE-2014-9427"],"references":[{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2014-9427"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"http://openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2015/01/01/1"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"http://openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2014/12/31/6"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/notices/USN-2501-1"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2014-9427"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"php5","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:14.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/php5@5.5.9+dfsg-1ubuntu4.6?arch=source&distro=trusty"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"5.5.9+dfsg-1ubuntu4.6"}]}],"versions":["5.5.3+dfsg-1ubuntu2","5.5.3+dfsg-1ubuntu3","5.5.6+dfsg-1ubuntu1","5.5.6+dfsg-1ubuntu2","5.5.8+dfsg-2ubuntu1","5.5.9+dfsg-1ubuntu1","5.5.9+dfsg-1ubuntu2","5.5.9+dfsg-1ubuntu3","5.5.9+dfsg-1ubuntu4","5.5.9+dfsg-1ubuntu4.1","5.5.9+dfsg-1ubuntu4.2","5.5.9+dfsg-1ubuntu4.3","5.5.9+dfsg-1ubuntu4.4","5.5.9+dfsg-1ubuntu4.5"],"ecosystem_specific":{"availability":"No subscription required","binaries":[{"binary_version":"5.5.9+dfsg-1ubuntu4.6","binary_name":"libapache2-mod-php5"},{"binary_version":"5.5.9+dfsg-1ubuntu4.6","binary_name":"libapache2-mod-php5filter"},{"binary_version":"5.5.9+dfsg-1ubuntu4.6","binary_name":"libphp5-embed"},{"binary_version":"5.5.9+dfsg-1ubuntu4.6","binary_name":"php-pear"},{"binary_version":"5.5.9+dfsg-1ubuntu4.6","binary_name":"php5"},{"binary_version":"5.5.9+dfsg-1ubuntu4.6","binary_name":"php5-cgi"},{"binary_version":"5.5.9+dfsg-1ubuntu4.6","binary_name":"php5-cli"},{"binary_version":"5.5.9+dfsg-1ubuntu4.6","binary_name":"php5-common"},{"binary_version":"5.5.9+dfsg-1ubuntu4.6","binary_name":"php5-curl"},{"binary_version":"5.5.9+dfsg-1ubuntu4.6","binary_name":"php5-enchant"},{"binary_version":"5.5.9+dfsg-1ubuntu4.6","binary_name":"php5-fpm"},{"binary_version":"5.5.9+dfsg-1ubuntu4.6","binary_name":"php5-gd"},{"binary_version":"5.5.9+dfsg-1ubuntu4.6","binary_name":"php5-gmp"},{"binary_version":"5.5.9+dfsg-1ubuntu4.6","binary_name":"php5-intl"},{"binary_version":"5.5.9+dfsg-1ubuntu4.6","binary_name":"php5-ldap"},{"binary_version":"5.5.9+dfsg-1ubuntu4.6","binary_name":"php5-mysql"},{"binary_version":"5.5.9+dfsg-1ubuntu4.6","binary_name":"php5-mysqlnd"},{"binary_version":"5.5.9+dfsg-1ubuntu4.6","binary_name":"php5-odbc"},{"binary_version":"5.5.9+dfsg-1ubuntu4.6","binary_name":"php5-pgsql"},{"binary_version":"5.5.9+dfsg-1ubuntu4.6","binary_name":"php5-pspell"},{"binary_version":"5.5.9+dfsg-1ubuntu4.6","binary_name":"php5-readline"},{"binary_version":"5.5.9+dfsg-1ubuntu4.6","binary_name":"php5-recode"},{"binary_version":"5.5.9+dfsg-1ubuntu4.6","binary_name":"php5-snmp"},{"binary_version":"5.5.9+dfsg-1ubuntu4.6","binary_name":"php5-sqlite"},{"binary_version":"5.5.9+dfsg-1ubuntu4.6","binary_name":"php5-sybase"},{"binary_version":"5.5.9+dfsg-1ubuntu4.6","binary_name":"php5-tidy"},{"binary_version":"5.5.9+dfsg-1ubuntu4.6","binary_name":"php5-xmlrpc"},{"binary_version":"5.5.9+dfsg-1ubuntu4.6","binary_name":"php5-xsl"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2014/UBUNTU-CVE-2014-9427.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5","severity":[{"type":"Ubuntu","score":"low"}]}
