In PHP before 5.5.32, 5.6.x before 5.6.18, and 7.x before 7.0.3, all of the return values of stream_get_meta_data can be controlled if the input can be controlled (e.g., during file uploads). For example, a "$uri = stream_get_meta_data(fopen($file, "r"))['uri']" call mishandles the case where $file is data:text/plain;uri=eviluri, -- in other words, metadata can be set by an attacker.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 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.

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.

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

  - php: Heap-based buffer over-read in mbstring regular expression functions (CVE-2019-9023)

  - Session fixation vulnerability in the Sessions subsystem in PHP before 5.5.2 allows remote attackers to     hijack web sessions by specifying a session ID. (CVE-2011-4718)

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

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.

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

  - In PHP through 5.6.33, 7.0.x before 7.0.28, 7.1.x     through 7.1.14, and 7.2.x through 7.2.2, there is a     stack-based buffer under-read while parsing an HTTP     response in the php_stream_url_wrap_http_ex function in     ext/standard/http_fopen_wrapper.c. This subsequently     results in copying a large string.(CVE-2018-7584)

  - In PHP before 5.5.32, 5.6.x before 5.6.18, and 7.x     before 7.0.3, all of the return values of     stream_get_meta_data can be controlled if the input can     be controlled (e.g., during file uploads). For example,     a '$uri = stream_get_meta_data(fopen($file,     'r'))['uri']' call mishandles the case where $file is     data:text/plainuri=eviluri, -- in other words, metadata     can be set by an attacker.(CVE-2016-10712)

  - The GIF decoding function gdImageCreateFromGifCtx in     gd_gif_in.c in the GD Graphics Library (aka libgd), as     used in PHP before 5.6.31 and 7.x before 7.1.7, does     not zero colorMap arrays before use. A specially     crafted GIF image could use the uninitialized tables to     read ~700 bytes from the top of the stack, potentially     disclosing sensitive information.(CVE-2017-7890)

This update for php53 fixes several issues. These security issues were fixed :

  - CVE-2016-10712: In PHP all of the return values of     stream_get_meta_data could be controlled if the input     can be controlled (e.g., during file uploads).
    (bsc#1080234)

  - CVE-2018-5712: Prevent reflected XSS on the PHAR 404     error page via the URI of a request for a .phar file     that allowed for information disclosure (bsc#1076220)

  - CVE-2018-5711: Prevent integer signedness error that     could have lead to an infinite loop via a crafted GIF     file allowing for DoS (bsc#1076391)

  - CVE-2016-5773: php_zip.c in the zip extension in PHP     improperly interacted with the unserialize     implementation and garbage collection, which allowed     remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a     denial of service (use-after-free and application crash)     via crafted serialized data containing a ZipArchive     object. (bsc#986247)

  - CVE-2016-5771: spl_array.c in the SPL extension in PHP     improperly interacted with the unserialize     implementation and garbage collection, which allowed     remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a     denial of service (use-after-free and application crash)     via crafted serialized data. (bsc#986391)

  - CVE-2018-7584: Fixed stack-based buffer under-read while     parsing an HTTPresponse in the     php_stream_url_wrap_http_ex. (bsc#1083639)

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3600-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that PHP incorrectly handled certain stream metadata. A remote attacker could possibly     use this issue to set arbitrary metadata. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. (CVE-2016-10712)

This update was imported from the SUSE:SLE-12:Update update project.

According to its banner, the version of PHP running on the remote web server is 5.6.x prior to 5.6.18. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - The Perl-Compatible Regular Expressions (PCRE) library     is affected by multiple vulnerabilities related to the     handling of regular expressions, subroutine calls, and     binary files. A remote attacker can exploit these to     cause a denial of service, obtain sensitive information,     or have other unspecified impact. (CVE-2015-8383,     CVE-2015-8386, CVE-2015-8387, CVE-2015-8389,     CVE-2015-8390, CVE-2015-8391, CVE-2015-8393,     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)
