main/streams/xp_socket.c in PHP 7.x before 2017-03-07 misparses fsockopen calls, such as by interpreting fsockopen('127.0.0.1:80', 443) as if the address/port were 127.0.0.1:80:443, which is later truncated to 127.0.0.1:80. This behavior has a security risk if the explicitly provided port number (i.e., 443 in this example) is hardcoded into an application as a security policy, but the hostname argument (i.e., 127.0.0.1:80 in this example) is obtained from untrusted input.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 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.

  - oniguruma: integer overflow in search_in_range function in regexec.c leads to out-of-bounds read     (CVE-2019-19012)

  - php: phar Buffer mismanagement (CVE-2023-3824)

  - main/streams/xp_socket.c in PHP 7.x before 2017-03-07 misparses fsockopen calls, such as by interpreting     fsockopen('127.0.0.1:80', 443) as if the address/port were 127.0.0.1:80:443, which is later truncated to     127.0.0.1:80.

(CVE-2017-7189)

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

(CVE-2017-7189)

  - In PHP versions 7.2.x below 7.2.26, 7.3.x below 7.3.13 and 7.4.0, PHP DirectoryIterator class accepts     filenames with embedded \0 byte and treats them as terminating at that byte. This could lead to security     vulnerabilities, e.g. in applications checking paths that the code is allowed to access. (CVE-2019-11045)

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 Virtualization for ARM 64 installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language. PHP     attempts to make it easy for developers to write     dynamically generated web pages. PHP also offers     built-in database integration for several commercial     and non-commercial database management systems, so     writing a database-enabled webpage with PHP is fairly     simple. The most common use of PHP coding is probably     as a replacement for CGI scripts. The php package     contains the module (often referred to as mod_php)     which adds support for the PHP language to Apache HTTP     Server. Security Fix(es):A flaw was found in HAProxy     before 2.0.6. In legacy mode, messages featuring a     transfer-encoding header missing the 'chunked' value     were not being correctly rejected. The impact was     limited but if combined with the 'http-reuse always'     setting, it could be used to help construct an HTTP     request smuggling attack against a vulnerable component     employing a lenient parser that would ignore the     content-length header as soon as it saw a     transfer-encoding one (even if not entirely valid     according to the specification).(CVE-2017-16642)In PHP     before 5.6.32, 7.x before 7.0.25, and 7.1.x before     7.1.11, an error in the date extension's     timelib_meridian handling of 'front of' and 'back of'     directives could be used by attackers able to supply     date strings to leak information from the interpreter,     related to ext/date/lib/parse_date.c out-of-bounds     reads affecting the php_parse_date function. NOTE: this     is a different issue than     CVE-2017-11145.(CVE-2017-11145)ext/standard/var_unseria     lizer.re in PHP before 5.6.26 mishandles     object-deserialization failures, which allows remote     attackers to cause a denial of service (memory     corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact     via an unserialize call that references a partially     constructed object.(CVE-2016-10397)Double free     vulnerability in the zend_ts_hash_graceful_destroy     function in zend_ts_hash.c in the Zend Engine in PHP     through 5.5.20 and 5.6.x through 5.6.4 allows remote     attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have     unspecified other impact via unknown     vectors.(CVE-2016-7412)Oniguruma through 6.9.3, as used     in PHP 7.3.x and other products, has a heap-based     buffer over-read in str_lower_case_match in     regexec.c.(CVE-2019-19246)When PHP EXIF extension is     parsing EXIF information from an image, e.g. via     exif_read_data() function, in PHP versions 7.2.x below     7.2.26, 7.3.x below 7.3.13 and 7.4.0 it is possible to     supply it with data what will cause it to read past the     allocated buffer. This may lead to information     disclosure or     crash.(CVE-2019-11047)main/php_open_temporary_file.c in     PHP before 5.5.28 and 5.6.x before 5.6.12 does not     ensure thread safety, which allows remote attackers to     cause a denial of service (race condition and heap     memory corruption) by leveraging an application that     performs many temporary-file     accesses.(CVE-2017-7272)When PHP EXIF extension is     parsing EXIF information from an image, e.g. via     exif_read_data() function, in PHP versions 7.2.x below     7.2.26, 7.3.x below 7.3.13 and 7.4.0 it is possible to     supply it with data what will cause it to read past the     allocated buffer. This may lead to information     disclosure or crash.(CVE-2019-11050)An issue was     discovered in Oniguruma 6.x before 6.9.4_rc2. In the     function fetch_interval_quantifier (formerly known as     fetch_range_quantifier) in regparse.c, PFETCH is called     without checking PEND. This leads to a heap-based     buffer     over-read.(CVE-2019-19204)main/streams/xp_socket.c in     PHP 7.x before 2017-03-07 misparses fsockopen calls,     such as by interpreting fsockopen('127.0.0.1:80', 443)     as if the address/port were 127.0.0.1:80:443, which is     later truncated to 127.0.0.1:80. This behavior has a     security risk if the explicitly provided port number     (i.e., 443 in this example) is hardcoded into an     application as a security policy, but the hostname     argument (i.e., 127.0.0.1:80 in this example) is     obtained from untrusted input.(CVE-2017-7189)
