ext/mysqlnd/mysqlnd.c in PHP before 5.4.43, 5.5.x before 5.5.27, and 5.6.x before 5.6.11 uses a client SSL option to mean that SSL is optional, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof servers via a cleartext-downgrade attack, a related issue to CVE-2015-3152.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 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.

  - php: buffer overflow in handling of long link names in tar phar archives (CVE-2016-2554)

  - php: Uninitialized read in exif_process_IFD_in_TIFF (CVE-2019-9641)

  - The ip2long function in PHP 5.1.4 and earlier may incorrectly validate an arbitrary string and return a     valid network IP address, which allows remote attackers to obtain network information and facilitate other     attacks, as demonstrated using SQL injection in the X-FORWARDED-FOR Header in index.php in MiniBB 2.0.
    NOTE: it could be argued that the ip2long behavior represents a risk for security-relevant issues in a way     that is similar to strcpy's role in buffer overflows, in which case this would be a class of     implementation bugs that would require separate CVE items for each PHP application that uses ip2long in a     security-relevant manner. (CVE-2006-4023)

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 versions of the php packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - ext/mysqlnd/mysqlnd.c in PHP before 5.4.43, 5.5.x     before 5.5.27, and 5.6.x before 5.6.11 uses a client     SSL option to mean that SSL is optional, which allows     man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof servers via a     cleartext-downgrade attack, a related issue to     CVE-2015-3152.(CVE-2015-8838)

  - In PHP versions 7.3.x below 7.3.26, 7.4.x below 7.4.14     and 8.0.0, when validating URL with functions like     filter_var($url, FILTER_VALIDATE_URL), PHP will accept     an URL with invalid password as valid URL. This may     lead to functions that rely on URL being valid to     mis-parse the URL and produce wrong data as components     of the URL.(CVE-2020-7071)

According to its banner, the version of PHP 5.6.x running on the remote web server is prior to 5.6.11. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

 - A security feature bypass vulnerability, known as 'BACKRONYM', exists due to a failure to properly enforce the requirement of an SSL/TLS connection when the --ssl client option is used. A man-in-the-middle attacker can exploit this flaw to coerce the client to downgrade to an unencrypted connection, allowing the attacker to disclose data from the database or manipulate database queries. (CVE-2015-3152)

 - A flaw exists in the PHP Connector/C component due to a failure to properly enforce the requirement of an SSL/TLS connection when the --ssl client option is used. A man-in-the-middle attacker can exploit this to downgrade the connection to plain HTTP when HTTPS is expected. (CVE-2015-8838) - A use-after-free error exists in the spl_recursive_it_move_forward_ex() function. An attacker can exploit this to dereference already freed memory, potentially allowing the execution of arbitrary code.

 - A use-after-free error exists in the sqlite3SafetyCheckSickOrOk() function. An attacker can exploit this to dereference already freed memory, potentially allowing the execution of arbitrary code.

 - The '!' character is not treated as a special character when delayed variable substitution is enabled. The functions escapeshellcmd() and escapeshellarg() are unable to properly sanitize arguments containing '!'. An attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary commands.

 - A double-free flaw exists in zend_vm_execute.h due to improper handling of certain code. An attacker can exploit this flaw to crash a PHP application, resulting in a denial of service condition.

Note that the scanner has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Versions of PHP 5.5.x earlier than 5.5.27, or 5.6.x earlier than 5.6.11 are vulnerable to the following issues :

 A double-free flaw exists in zend_vm_execute.h due to improper handling of certain code. An attacker can exploit this flaw to crash a PHP application, resulting in a denial of service condition.
 - A flaw exists in the parse_ini_file() and parse_ini_string() functions. Due to improper handling of strings that contain a line feed followed by an escape character, an attacker can exploit this to crash a PHP application, resulting in a denial of service condition.

According to its banner, the version of PHP 5.6.x running on the remote web server is prior to 5.6.11. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities.
 - A security feature bypass vulnerability, known as 'BACKRONYM', exists due to a failure to properly enforce the requirement of an SSL/TLS connection when the --ssl client option is used. A man-in-the-middle attacker can exploit this flaw to coerce the client to downgrade to an unencrypted connection, allowing the attacker to disclose data from the database or manipulate database queries. (CVE-2015-3152)
 - A flaw in the phar_convert_to_other function in ext/phar/phar_object.c could allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2015-5589)
 - A Stack-based buffer overflow in the phar_fix_filepath function in ext/phar/phar.c could allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2015-5590)
 - A flaw exists in the PHP Connector/C component due to a failure to properly enforce the requirement of an SSL/TLS connection when the --ssl client option is used.
 - A man-in-the-middle attacker can exploit this to downgrade the connection to plain HTTP when HTTPS is expected. (CVE-2015-8838)
 - A use-after-free error exists in the spl_recursive_it_move_forward_ex() function. An attacker can exploit this to dereference already freed memory, potentially allowing the execution of arbitrary code.
 - A use-after-free error exists in the sqlite3SafetyCheckSickOrOk() function. An attacker can exploit this to dereference already freed memory, potentially allowing the execution of arbitrary code.
 - The '!' character is not treated as a special character when delayed variable substitution is enabled. The functions escapeshellcmd() and escapeshellarg() are unable to properly sanitize arguments containing '!'.
 - An attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary commands.
 - A double-free flaw exists in zend_vm_execute.h due to improper handling of certain code. An attacker can exploit this flaw to crash a PHP application, resulting in a denial of service condition.
