+ <synopsis>
+ If the server configuration "php.ini" file has
+ "register_globals = on" and a request is made to one virtual host
+ (which has "php_admin_flag register_globals off") and the next
+ request is sent to the another virtual host (which does not have the
+ setting) global variables may leak and may be used to exploit the
+ site.

+ PHP is a widely-used general-purpose scripting language that is
+ especially suited for Web development and can be embedded into HTML.

+ If the server configuration "php.ini" file has
+ "register_globals = on" and a request is made to one virtual host
+ (which has "php_admin_flag register_globals off") and the next
+ request is sent to the another virtual host (which does not have the
+ setting) through the same apache child, the setting will persist.

+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ Depending on the server and site, an attacker may be able to exploit
+ global variables to gain access to reserved areas, such as MySQL passwords,
+ or this vulnerability may simply cause a lack of functionality. As a
+ result, users are urged to upgrade their PHP installations.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Gentoo ships PHP with "register_globals" set to "off"
+ by default.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ This issue affects both servers running Apache 1.x and servers running
+ Apache 2.x.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ No immediate workaround is available; a software upgrade is required.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All users are recommended to upgrade their PHP installation to 4.3.4-r4:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge sync
+ # emerge -pv "&gt;=dev-php/mod_php-4.3.4-r4"
+ # emerge "&gt;=dev-php/mod_php-4.3.4-r4"</code>
