bc Statement on glibc/iconv Vulnerability By www.php.net Published On :: 2024-04-24 EDIT 2024-04-25: Clarified when a PHP application is vulnerable to this bug.Recently, a bug in glibc version 2.39 and older (CVE-2024-2961) was uncovered where a buffer overflow in character set conversions to the ISO-2022-CN-EXT character set can result in remote code execution. This specific buffer overflow in glibc is exploitable through PHP, which exposes the iconv functionality of glibc to do character set conversions via the iconv extension. Although the bug is exploitable in the context of the PHP Engine, the bug is not in PHP. It is also not directly exploitable remotely. The bug is exploitable, if and only if, the PHP application calls iconv functions or filters with user-supplied character sets. Applications are not vulnerable if: Glibc security updates from the distribution have been installed.Or the iconv extension is not loaded.Or the vulnerable character set has been removed from gconv-modules-extra.conf.Or the application passes only specifically allowed character sets to iconv. Moreover, when using a user-supplied character set, it is good practice for applications to accept only specific charsets that have been explicitly allowed by the application. One example of how this can be done is by using an allow-list and the array_search() function to check the encoding before passing it to iconv. For example: array_search($charset, $allowed_list, true) There are numerous reports online with titles like "Mitigating the iconv Vulnerability for PHP (CVE-2024-2961)" or "PHP Under Attack". These titles are misleading as this is not a bug in PHP itself. If your PHP application is vulnerable, we first recommend to check if your Linux distribution has already published patched variants of glibc. Debian, CentOS, and others, have already done so, and please upgrade as soon as possible. Once an update is available in glibc, updating that package on your Linux machine will be enough to alleviate the issue. You do not need to update PHP, as glibc is a dynamically linked library. If your Linux distribution has not published a patched version of glibc, there is no fix for this issue. However, there exists a workaround described in GLIBC Vulnerability on Servers Serving PHP which explains a way on how to remove the problematic character set from glibc. Perform this procedure for every gconv-modules-extra.conf file that is available on your system.PHP users on Windows are not affected.Therefore, a new version of PHP will not be released for this vulnerability.

bc Holy Prophet Habbakuk (Abbacum) (7th c. BC). By www.ancientfaith.com Published On :: 2020-01-22T04:35:55+00:00 He prophesied in the time of Joachim, just before the Jewish people were taken into captivity in Babylon. He himself escaped captivity, and after Jerusalem was destroyed, returned to his homeland. Once he was taking some food to his harvesters when an Angel transported him to Babylon to feed the Prophet Daniel in the lions' den, then bore him back to Judea (this is told in the full version of the book of Daniel, ch. 6 LXX). The third chapter of his prophecy is used as the Fourth Ode of the Matins Canon(the Ode is usually sung in full only in monasteries during Lent, but the eirmos of the Fourth Ode, sung in many parishes, usually refers to the Prophet). His holy relics were found through a revelation in Palestine during the reign of Theodosius the Great, and a chapel built there. His name means "Father of the Resurrection." Full Article
bc Holy Prophet Haggai (~520 BC) By www.ancientfaith.com Published On :: 2020-01-22T04:53:44+00:00 He was born in Babylon, of the priestly tribe of Levi, during the captivity of the Jews. After their return to Jerusalem, the Jews began to rebuild the Temple and to worship there according to the Law, but were discouraged by opposition from the local population (many of them Jews who had not gone into captivity). So God raised up the holy Prophets Haggai and Zechariah (February 8) to stir the people to complete their sacred work. Haggai's prophecies reveal that the drought that the Hebrews were suffering was brought about by their failure to complete the rebuilding of Jerusalem, and would only end when they rededicated themselves to their work.

His prophetic ministry is described both in the Book of Ezra and in the Old Testament book that bears his name. His prophecies, in addition to speaking to the situation in which he lived, are replete with prophecies of the coming, and second coming, of Christ. His name means "The Lord is renowned."

bc Holy Prophet Nahum (7th c. BC) By www.ancientfaith.com Published On :: 2023-12-01T06:00:01+00:00 He was a Galilean of the tribe of Simeon. The Old Testament book that bears his name foretells the destruction of Nineveh, the capital of Assyria, by the Medes, and the restoration of the Kingdom of Judah; all of this came to pass. Nahum is counted as the seventh of the Minor Prophets. He reposed in peace. His name means 'consolation' or 'repose.' Five of the Prophets (Nahum, Habbakuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, and Daniel) are commemorated in December. At one time a Feast of the Twelve Prophets was celebrated on December 4 at the Church of the Resurrection, but this feast is no longer on the calendar. The days leading up to Christ's Nativity contain many commemorations of the faithful remnant of Israel, all of whose hopes were fulfilled in the birth of the Messiah. Full Article
bc Holy Prophet Habbakuk (Abbacum) (7th c. BC) By www.ancientfaith.com Published On :: 2023-12-02T06:00:01+00:00 He prophesied in the time of Joachim, just before the Jewish people were taken into captivity in Babylon. He himself escaped captivity, and after Jerusalem was destroyed, returned to his homeland. Once he was taking some food to his harvesters when an Angel transported him to Babylon to feed the Prophet Daniel in the lions' den, then bore him back to Judea (this is told in the full version of the book of Daniel, ch. 6 LXX). The third chapter of his prophecy is used as the Fourth Ode of the Matins Canon(the Ode is usually sung in full only in monasteries during Lent, but the eirmos of the Fourth Ode, sung in many parishes, usually refers to the Prophet). His holy relics were found through a revelation in Palestine during the reign of Theodosius the Great, and a chapel built there. His name means "Father of the Resurrection." Full Article
bc Holy Prophet Haggai (~520 BC) By www.ancientfaith.com Published On :: 2023-12-16T06:00:01+00:00 He was born in Babylon, of the priestly tribe of Levi, during the captivity of the Jews. After their return to Jerusalem, the Jews began to rebuild the Temple and to worship there according to the Law, but were discouraged by opposition from the local population (many of them Jews who had not gone into captivity). So God raised up the holy Prophets Haggai and Zechariah (February 8) to stir the people to complete their sacred work. Haggai's prophecies reveal that the drought that the Hebrews were suffering was brought about by their failure to complete the rebuilding of Jerusalem, and would only end when they rededicated themselves to their work. He is ranked tenth among the minor Prophets. Full Article
