These scripts will use <strong>$*</strong> 656 instead of <strong>"$@"</strong> to pass parameters to php-cgi which causes a number of 657 issues. Again, people using mod_php or php-fpm are not affected.</p> 658 659 <p> 660 One way to address these CGI issues is to reject the request if the query string 661 contains a '-' and no '='. It can be done using Apache's mod_rewrite like this: 662 663 <pre> 664 RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^[^=]*$ 665 RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} %2d|\- [NC] 666 RewriteRule .? - [F,L] 667 </pre> 668 669 Note that this will block otherwise safe requests like ?top-40 so if you 670 have query parameters that look like that, adjust your regex accordingly.</p> 671 672 <p>Another set of releases are planned for Tuesday, May, 8th.

This is only used in the case of an `indexed' query. This 696 is identified by a "GET" or "HEAD" HTTP request with a URL search 697 string not containing any unencoded "=" characters. 698 </cite> 699 700 <p>So, requests that do not have a "=" in the query string are treated 701 differently from those who do in some CGI implementations. For PHP this 702 means that a request containing ?-s may dump the PHP source code for the 703 page, but a request that has ?-s&=1 is fine.</p> 704 705 <p>A large number of sites run PHP as either an Apache module through 706 mod_php or using php-fpm under nginx. Neither of these setups are 707 vulnerable to this. Straight shebang-style CGI also does not appear to 708 be vulnerable.</p> 709 710 <p>If you are using Apache mod_cgi to run PHP you may be vulnerable. To see 711 if you are, just add ?-s to the end of any of your URLs. If you see your 712 source code, you are vulnerable. If your site renders normally, you are not.</p> 713 714 <p>To fix this, update to PHP 5.3.12 or PHP 5.4.2. </p> 715 716 <p>We recognize that since CGI is a rather outdated way to run PHP, it may not be feasible to 717 upgrade these sites to a modern version of PHP. An alternative is to 718 configure your web server to not let these types of requests with query 719 strings starting with a "-" and not containing a "=" through. Adding a 720 rule like this should not break any sites. For Apache using mod_rewrite 721 it would look like this:</p> 722 723 <pre> 724 RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(%2d|-)[^=]+$ [NC] 725 RewriteRule ^(.*) $1? [L] 726 </pre> 727 728 <p>If you are writing your own rule, be sure to take the urlencoded ?%2ds 729 version into account.</p> 730 731 <p>Making a bad week worse, we had a bug in our bug system that toggled the 732 private flag of a bug report to public on a comment to the bug report 733 causing this issue to go public before we had time to test solutions to 734 the level we would like.
