PHP 5.4.x < 5.4.17 Buffer Overflow

high Nessus Plugin ID 67260

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server uses a version of PHP that is potentially affected by a buffer overflow vulnerability.

Description

According to its banner, the version of PHP 5.4.x installed on the remote host is a version prior to 5.4.17. It is, therefore, potentially affected by a buffer overflow error that exists in the function '_pdo_pgsql_error' in the file 'ext/pdo_pgsql/pgsql_driver.c'.

Note that this plugin does not attempt to exploit this vulnerability, but instead, relies only on PHP's self-reported version number.

Solution

Apply the vendor patch or upgrade to PHP version 5.4.17 or later.
