PHP 5.4.x < 5.4.29 'src/cdf.c' Multiple Vulnerabilities
medium Nessus Plugin ID 74291
Language:
Synopsis
The remote web server uses a version of PHP that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.Description
According to its banner, the version of PHP 5.4.x installed on the remote host is a version prior to 5.4.29. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :- A flaw exists with the 'cdf_unpack_summary_info()' function within 'src/cdf.c' where multiple file_printf calls occur when handling specially crafted CDF files.
This could allow a context dependent attacker to crash the web application using PHP. (CVE-2014-0237)
- A flaw exists with the 'cdf_read_property_info()' function within 'src/cdf.c' where an infinite loop occurs when handling specially crafted CDF files. This could allow a context dependent attacker to crash the web application using PHP. (CVE-2014-0238)
- An out-of-bounds read exists in printf. (Bug #67249)
Note that Nessus has not attempted to exploit these issues, but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
Solution
Upgrade to PHP version 5.4.29 or later.See Also
