Title:	SuSE Security Advisory SUSE-SA:2003:0009 (mod_php4)
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory SUSE-SA:2003:0009. The Apache module mod_php4 supports the widely used Web scripting language PHP. Under some special circumstances a buffer overflow can be triggered in mod_php4's wordwrap() function. This buffer overflow can be used to overwrite heap memory and possibly can lead to remote system compromise. Just mod_php4 versions greater than 4.1.2 and less than 4.3.0 are vulnerable. This affects SuSE Linux 8.1 and all SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 8 based products. Solution: Update your system with the packages as indicated in the referenced security advisory. After updating the mod_php4 module has to be reloaded by Apache. This can be done by restarting the apache webserver using the following command as root: rcapache restart https://secure1.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=SUSE-SA:2003:0009 Risk factor : High CVSS Score: 7.5
