A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

Summary:

php5 could be made to crash or run programs if it received
specially crafted network traffic.

Software Description:
- php5: HTML-embedded scripting language interpreter

It was discovered that the Fileinfo component in php5 contains an integer
overflow. An attacker could use this flaw to cause a denial of service
or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted CDF file. (CVE-2014-3587)

It was discovered that the php_parserr function contains multiple buffer
overflows. An attacker could use this flaw to cause a denial of service
or possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted DNS records. (CVE-2014-3597)
