More information:

Multiple security issues were found in PHP, a widely-used open source general purpose scripting language, which could result in denial of service or incorrect validation of BCrypt hashes.

  • CVE-2022-31631

    Due to an uncaught integer overflow, PDO::quote() of PDO_SQLite may return an improperly quoted string. The exact details likely depend on the implementation of sqlite3_snprintf(), but with some versions it is possible to force the function to return a single apostrophe, if the function is called on user supplied input without any length restrictions in place.

  • CVE-2023-0567

    Tim Düsterhus discovered that malformed BCrypt hashes that include a $ character within their salt part trigger a buffer overread and may erroneously validate any password as valid. (Password_verify() always returns true with such inputs.)

  • CVE-2023-0568

    1-byte array overrun when appending slash to paths during path resolution.

  • CVE-2023-0662

    Jakob Ackermann discovered a Denial of Service vulnerability when parsing multipart request body: the request body parsing in PHP allows any unauthenticated attacker to consume a large amount of CPU time and trigger excessive logging.

For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version 7.3.31-1~deb10u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your php7.3 packages.
