Title:	Debian: Security Advisory (DSA-1775-1)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'php-json-ext' package(s) announced via the DSA-1775-1 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'php-json-ext' package(s) announced via the DSA-1775-1 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: It was discovered that php-json-ext, a JSON serialiser for PHP, is prone to a denial of service attack, when receiving a malformed string via the json_decode function. For the oldstable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in version 1.2.1-3.2+etch1. The stable distribution (lenny) does not contain a separate php-json-ext package, but includes it in the php5 packages, which will be fixed soon. The testing distribution (squeeze) and the unstable distribution (sid) do not contain a separate php-json-ext package, but include it in the php5 packages. We recommend that you upgrade your php-json-ext packages. Affected Software/OS: 'php-json-ext' package(s) on Debian 4. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 5.0 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P
