Technical Description

Mandriva has released updated packages to correct a vulnerability identified in PHP. This flaw is due to an input validation error in the "mb_send_mail()" function that does not properly validate the "To" header when sending emails, which could be exploited by attackers to inject arbitrary headers into outgoing email messages via the "To" address argument. For additional information, see : VUPEN/ADV-2005-2254
