The SplObjectStorage unserialize implementation in ext/spl/spl_observer.c in PHP before 7.0.12 does not verify that a key is an object, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (uninitialized memory access) via crafted serialized data.

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.

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

This update for php7 fixes the following security issues :

  - CVE-2016-7480: The SplObjectStorage unserialize     implementation in ext/spl/spl_observer.c in PHP did not     verify that a key is an object, which allowed remote     attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of     service (uninitialized memory access) via crafted     serialized data. (bsc#1019568)

  - CVE-2017-5340: Zend/zend_hash.c in PHP mishandled     certain cases that require large array allocations,     which allowed remote attackers to execute arbitrary code     or cause a denial of service (integer overflow,     uninitialized memory access, and use of arbitrary     destructor function pointers) via crafted serialized     data. (bsc#1019570)

  - CVE-2016-7479: In all versions of PHP 7, during the     unserialization process, resizing the 'properties' hash     table of a serialized object may have lead to     use-after-free. A remote attacker may exploit this bug     to gain arbitrary code execution. (bsc#1019547)

  - CVE-2016-7478: Zend/zend_exceptions.c in PHP allowed     remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite     loop) via a crafted Exception object in serialized data,     a related issue to CVE-2015-8876. (bsc#1019550)

    (bsc#1022260)

  - CVE-2016-10162: The php_wddx_pop_element function in     ext/wddx/wddx.c in PHP 7 allowed remote attackers to     cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and     application crash) via an inapplicable class name in a     wddxPacket XML document, leading to mishandling in a     wddx_deserialize call. (bsc#1022262)

  - CVE-2016-10166: A potential unsigned underflow in gd     interpolation functions could lead to memory corruption     in the PHP gd module (bsc#1022263)

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

The SplObjectStorage unserialize implementation in ext/spl/spl_observer.c in PHP before 7.0.12 does not verify that a key is an object, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (uninitialized memory access) via crafted serialized data. (CVE-2016-7480)

Use-after-free vulnerability in the CURLFile implementation in ext/curl/curl_file.c in PHP 7.x before 7.0.12 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted serialized data that is mishandled during __wakeup processing. (CVE-2016-9137)

Stack consumption vulnerability in the gdImageFillToBorder function in gd.c in the GD Graphics Library (aka libgd) before 2.2.2, as used in PHP 7.x before 7.0.13, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation violation) via a crafted imagefilltoborder call that triggers use of a negative color value. (CVE-2016-9933)

ext/wddx/wddx.c in PHP 7.x before 7.0.13 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) via crafted serialized data in a wddxPacket XML document, as demonstrated by a PDORow string. (CVE-2016-9934)

The php_wddx_push_element function in ext/wddx/wddx.c in PHP 7.x before 7.0.14 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact via an empty boolean element in a wddxPacket XML document. (CVE-2016-9935)

The unserialize implementation in ext/standard/var.c in PHP 7.x before 7.0.14 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (use-after-free) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted serialized data. This vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2015-6834 . (CVE-2016-9936)

Check Point reports :

... discovered 3 fresh and previously unknown vulnerabilities (CVE-2016-7479, CVE-2016-7480, CVE-2016-7478) in the PHP 7 unserialize mechanism.

The first two vulnerabilities allow attackers to take full control over servers, allowing them to do anything they want with the website, from spreading malware to defacing it or stealing customer data.

The last vulnerability generates a Denial of Service attack which basically hangs the website, exhausts its memory consumption, and shuts it down.

The PHP security team issued fixes for two of the vulnerabilities on the 13th of October and 1st of December.
