Amazon Linux AMI : php72 (ALAS-2020-1346)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 134119

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Amazon Linux AMI host is missing a security update.

Description

The version of php72 installed on the remote host is prior to 7.2.27-1.20. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS-2020-1346 advisory.

 When using fgetss() function to read data with stripping tags, in PHP versions 7.2.x below 7.2.27, 7.3.x below 7.3.14 and 7.4.x below 7.4.2 it is possible to supply data that will cause this function to read past the allocated buffer. This may lead to information disclosure or crash. (CVE-2020-7059)

 When using certain mbstring functions to convert multibyte encodings, in PHP versions 7.2.x below 7.2.27, 7.3.x below 7.3.14 and 7.4.x below 7.4.2 it is possible to supply data that will cause function mbfl_filt_conv_big5_wchar to read past the allocated buffer. This may lead to information disclosure or crash. (CVE-2020-7060)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Run 'yum update php72' to update your system.
