The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - php: buffer overflow in handling of long link names in tar phar archives (CVE-2016-2554)

  - php: Uninitialized read in exif_process_IFD_in_TIFF (CVE-2019-9641)

  - The ip2long function in PHP 5.1.4 and earlier may incorrectly validate an arbitrary string and return a     valid network IP address, which allows remote attackers to obtain network information and facilitate other     attacks, as demonstrated using SQL injection in the X-FORWARDED-FOR Header in index.php in MiniBB 2.0.
    NOTE: it could be argued that the ip2long behavior represents a risk for security-relevant issues in a way     that is similar to strcpy's role in buffer overflows, in which case this would be a class of     implementation bugs that would require separate CVE items for each PHP application that uses ip2long in a     security-relevant manner. (CVE-2006-4023)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.
