pcregrep in PCRE before 8.38 mishandles the -q option for binary files, which might allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via a crafted file, as demonstrated by a CGI script that sends stdout data to a client.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - pcre: inefficient posix character class syntax check (8.38/16) (CVE-2015-8391)

  - pcre: Integer overflow caused by missing check for certain conditions (8.38/31) (CVE-2015-8394)

  - PCRE before 8.36 mishandles the /(((a\2)|(a*)\g<-1>))*/ pattern and related patterns with certain internal     recursive back references, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault)     or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted regular expression, as demonstrated by a     JavaScript RegExp object encountered by Konqueror. (CVE-2015-2327)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

According to the version of the pcre packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerability :

  - Integer overflow in the _IO_wstr_overflow function in     libio/wstrops.c in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or     libc6) before 2.22 allows context-dependent attackers     to cause a denial of service (application crash) or     possibly execute arbitrary code via vectors related to     computing a size in bytes, which triggers a heap-based     buffer overflow.(CVE-2015-8393)

pcregrep in PCRE before 8.38 mishandles the -q option for binary files, which might allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via a crafted file, as demonstrated by a CGI script that sends stdout data to a client. (CVE-2015-8393)

The Tenable SecurityCenter application installed on the remote host is either prior to version 5.3.0 or is missing a security patch. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities in the Perl-Compatible Regular Expressions (PCRE) library bundled with PHP :

  - An overflow condition exists in the PCRE library due to     improper validation of user-supplied input when handling     repeated conditional groups. An attacker can exploit     this, via a specially crafted regular expression, to     cause a buffer overflow, resulting in a denial of     service condition. (CVE-2015-8383)

  - An overflow condition exists in the PCRE library due to     improper validation of user-supplied input when handling     mutual recursions within a 'lookbehind' assertion. An     attacker can exploit this to cause a stack-based buffer     overflow, resulting in a denial of service condition.
    (CVE-2015-8386)

  - An integer overflow condition exists in the PCRE library     due to improper validation of user-supplied input when     handling subroutine calls. An attacker can exploit this,     via a specially crafted regular expression, to cause a     denial of service condition. (CVE-2015-8387)

  - A flaw exists in the PCRE library due to improper     handling of the /(?:|a|){100}x/ pattern or other related     patterns. An attacker can exploit this, via a specially     crafted regular expression, to cause an infinite     recursion, resulting in a denial of service condition.
    (CVE-2015-8389)

  - A flaw exists in the PCRE library due to improper     handling of the [: and \\ substrings in character     classes. An attacker can exploit this, via a specially     crafted regular expression, to cause an uninitialized     memory read, resulting in a denial of service condition.
    (CVE-2015-8390)

  - A flaw exists in the PCRE library in the pcre_compile()     function in pcre_compile.c due to improper handling of     [: nesting. An attacker can exploit this, via a     specially crafted regular expression, to cause an     excessive consumption of CPU resources, resulting in a     denial of service condition. (CVE-2015-8391)

  - A flaw exists in the PCRE library due to improper     handling of the '-q' option for binary files. An     attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted file,     to disclose sensitive information. (CVE-2015-8393)

  - An integer overflow condition exists in the PCRE library     due to improper validation of user-supplied input when     handling the (?(<digits>) and (?(R<digits>) conditions.
    An attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted     regular expression, to cause a denial of service     condition. (CVE-2015-8394)

  - A flaw exists in file ext/standard/exec.c in the     escapeshellcmd() and escapeshellarg() functions due to     the program truncating NULL bytes in strings. A remote     attacker can exploit this to bypass restrictions.

  - A flaw exists in file ext/standard/streamsfuncs.c in the     stream_get_meta_data() function due to a failure to     restrict writing user-supplied data to fields not     already set. A remote attacker can exploit this to     falsify the output of the function, resulting in the     insertion of malicious metadata.

  - A type confusion error exists in file ext/wddx/wddx.c in     the php_wddx_pop_element() function when deserializing     WDDX packets. A remote attacker can exploit this to have     an unspecified impact.

  - A flaw exists in file ext/phar/phar_object.c in the     PharFileInfo::getContent() method due to the use of     uninitialized memory causing improper validation of     user-supplied input. A remote attacker can exploit this     to corrupt memory, resulting in a denial of service or     the execution of arbitrary code.

  - A NULL pointer dereference flaw exists in file     ext/phar/tar.c in the phar_tar_setupmetadata() function     when parsing metadata from a crafted TAR file. A remote     attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service.

  - An integer overflow condition exists in file     ext/standard/iptc.c in the iptcembed() function due to     improper validation of user-supplied input. A remote     attacker can exploit this to cause a heap-based buffer     overflow, resulting in a denial of service or the     execution of arbitrary code.

  - An overflow condition exists in file ext/phar/tar.c in     the phar_parse_tarfile() function due to improper     validation of user-supplied input when decompressing     TAR files. A remote attacker can exploit this to cause     a stack-based buffer overflow, resulting in a denial of     service or the execution of arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2016-2554)

  - An uninitialized pointer flaw exists in the     phar_make_dirstream() function within file     ext/phar/dirstream.c due to improper handling of     ././@LongLink files. An unauthenticated, remote attacker     can exploit this, via a specially crafted TAR file, to     cause a denial of service condition or the execution of     arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-4343)
