CWE-20  (opens in a new tab)

Upgrade Oracle:5 php-dba to version 0:5.1.6-24.el5_4.5 or higher.
This issue was patched in ELSA-2010-0040.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream php-dba package and not the php-dba package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:5 relevant fixed versions and status.

The php_openssl_apply_verification_policy function in PHP before 5.2.11 does not properly perform certificate validation, which has unknown impact and attack vectors, probably related to an ability to spoof certificates.
