Amazon Linux 2 : php (ALASPHP8.0-2023-006)

high Nessus Plugin ID 181389

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 8.0.20-1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2PHP8.0-2023-006 advisory.

A vulnerability was found in PHP due to an uninitialized array in pg_query_params() function. When using the Postgres database extension, supplying invalid parameters to the parameterized query may lead to PHP attempting to free memory, using uninitialized data as pointers. This flaw allows a remote attacker with the ability to control query parameters to execute arbitrary code on the system or may cause a denial of service. (CVE-2022-31625)

A buffer overflow vulnerability was found in PHP when processing passwords in mysqlnd/pdo in mysqlnd_wireprotocol.c. When using the pdo_mysql extension with mysqlnd driver, if the third party is allowed to supply a password to the host for the connection, a password of excessive length can trigger a buffer overflow in PHP. This flaw allows a remote attacker to pass a password (with an excessive length) via PDO to the MySQL server, triggering arbitrary code execution on the target system. (CVE-2022-31626)

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.
