Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6757-1 advisory.

 It was discovered that PHP incorrectly handled PHP_CLI_SERVER_WORKERS variable. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a crash or execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. (CVE-2022-4900)

 It was discovered that PHP incorrectly handled certain cookies. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cookie by pass. (CVE-2024-2756)
