PHP 5.4.x < 5.4.1 Multiple Vulnerabilities

medium Nessus Plugin ID 58967

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server uses a version of PHP that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

According to its banner, the version of PHP installed on the remote host is 5.4.x earlier than 5.4.1, and, therefore, potentially affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

- The '$_FILES' variable can be corrupted because the names of uploaded files are not properly validated.
(CVE-2012-1172)

- The 'open_basedir' directive is not properly handled by the functions 'readline_write_history' and 'readline_read_history'.

- It's possible to bypass an HTTP response-splitting protection because the 'sapi_header_op()' function in main/SAPI.c does not properly determine a pointer during checks for encoded carriage return characters. (Bug #60227 / CVE-2012-4388)

Solution

Upgrade to PHP version 5.4.1 or later.
