The remote Debian 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-2708 advisory.

    Several vulnerabilities were discovered in php5, a server-side, HTML-embedded scripting language. An     attacker could cause denial of service (DoS), memory corruption and potentially execution of arbitrary     code, and server-side request forgery (SSRF) bypass. CVE-2019-18218 fileinfo: cdf_read_property_info in     cdf.c does not restrict the number of CDF_VECTOR elements, which allows a heap-based buffer overflow     (4-byte out-of-bounds write). CVE-2020-7071 When validating URL with functions like filter_var($url,     FILTER_VALIDATE_URL), PHP will accept an URL with invalid password as valid URL. This may lead to     functions that rely on URL being valid to mis-parse the URL and produce wrong data as components of the     URL. CVE-2021-21702 When using SOAP extension to connect to a SOAP server, a malicious SOAP server could     return malformed XML data as a response that would cause PHP to access a null pointer and thus cause a     crash. CVE-2021-21704 Multiple firebird issues. CVE-2021-21705 SSRF bypass in FILTER_VALIDATE_URL. For     Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 7.0.33-0+deb9u11. We recommend that you     upgrade your php7.0 packages. For the detailed security status of php7.0 please refer to its security     tracker page at: https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/php7.0 Further information about Debian LTS     security advisories, how to apply these updates to your system and frequently asked questions can be found     at: https://wiki.debian.org/LTS
