critical Nessus Plugin ID 130283

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Emil Lerner, beched and d90pwn found a buffer underflow in php5-fpm, a Fast Process Manager for the PHP language, which can lead to remote code execution.

Instances are vulnerable depending on the web server configuration, in particular PATH_INFO handling. For a full list of preconditions, check: https://github.com/neex/phuip-fpizdam

For Debian 8 'Jessie', this problem has been fixed in version 5.6.40+dfsg-0+deb8u7.

We recommend that you upgrade your php5 packages.

Solution

Upgrade the affected packages.
