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 5.4.3. It is, therefore, potentially affected the following vulnerabilities :

- The fix for CVE-2012-1823 does not completely correct the CGI query parameter vulnerability. Disclosure of PHP source code and code execution are still possible.
Note that this vulnerability is exploitable only when PHP is used in CGI-based configurations. Apache with 'mod_php' is not an exploitable configuration.
(CVE-2012-2311, CVE-2012-2335, CVE-2012-2336)

- An unspecified buffer overflow exists related to the function 'apache_request_headers'. (CVE-2012-2329)
