Amazon Linux AMI : php72 (ALAS-2020-1350)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 134572

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 7.2.28-1.21. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS-2020-1350 advisory.

In PHP versions 7.3.x below 7.3.15 and 7.4.x below 7.4.3, while extracting PHAR files on Windows using phar extension, certain content inside PHAR file could lead to one-byte read past the allocated buffer.
This could potentially lead to information disclosure or crash. (CVE-2020-7061)

In PHP versions 7.2.x below 7.2.28, 7.3.x below 7.3.15 and 7.4.x below 7.4.3, when using file upload functionality, if upload progress tracking is enabled, but session.upload_progress.cleanup is set to 0 (disabled), and the file upload fails, the upload procedure would try to clean up data that does not exist and encounter null pointer dereference, which would likely lead to a crash. (CVE-2020-7062)

In PHP versions 7.2.x below 7.2.28, 7.3.x below 7.3.15 and 7.4.x below 7.4.3, when creating PHAR archive using PharData::buildFromIterator() function, the files are added with default permissions (0666, or all access) even if the original files on the filesystem were with more restrictive permissions. This may result in files having more lax permissions than intended when such archive is extracted. (CVE-2020-7063)

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.
