Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2016-10712

high Nessus Plugin ID 219321

Language:

Synopsis

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed with a vulnerability that the vendor indicates will not be patched.

Description

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

- In PHP before 5.5.32, 5.6.x before 5.6.18, and 7.x before 7.0.3, all of the return values of stream_get_meta_data can be controlled if the input can be controlled (e.g., during file uploads). For example, a $uri = stream_get_meta_data(fopen($file, r))['uri'] call mishandles the case where $file is data:text/plain;uri=eviluri, -- in other words, metadata can be set by an attacker. (CVE-2016-10712)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
