Debian Security Advisories

DSA-3064 php5 – security update

Several vulnerabilities were found in PHP, a general-purpose scripting
language commonly used for web application development. It has been
decided to follow the stable 5.4.x releases for the Wheezy PHP packages.
Consequently the vulnerabilities are addressed by upgrading PHP to a new
upstream version 5.4.34, which includes additional bug fixes, new
features and possibly incompatible changes. Please refer to the upstream
changelog for more information:

DSA-3062 wget – security update

HD Moore of Rapid7 discovered a symlink attack in Wget, a command-line
utility to retrieve files via HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP. The vulnerability
allows to create arbitrary files on the user’s system when Wget runs in
recursive mode against a malicious FTP server. Arbitrary file creation
may override content of user’s files or permit remote code execution with
the user privilege.
