Synopsis

The remote Amazon Linux 2 host is missing a security update.

Description

The version of php installed on the remote host is prior to 8.0.24-1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2PHP8.0-2023-005 advisory.

In PHP versions before 7.4.31, 8.0.24 and 8.1.11, the phar uncompressor code would recursively uncompress quines gzip files, resulting in an infinite loop. (CVE-2022-31628)

In PHP versions before 7.4.31, 8.0.24 and 8.1.11, the vulnerability enables network and same-site attackers to set a standard insecure cookie in the victim's browser which is treated as a or cookie by PHP applications. (CVE-2022-31629)

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 php' to update your system.
