Amazon Linux AMI : php54 (ALAS-2013-224)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 70228

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Amazon Linux AMI host is missing a security update.

Description

Session fixation vulnerability in the Sessions subsystem in PHP before 5.5.2 allows remote attackers to hijack web sessions by specifying a session ID.

The openssl_x509_parse function in openssl.c in the OpenSSL module in PHP before 5.4.18 and 5.5.x before 5.5.2 does not properly handle a '\0' character in a domain name in the Subject Alternative Name field of an X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof arbitrary SSL servers via a crafted certificate issued by a legitimate Certification Authority, a related issue to CVE-2009-2408 .

Solution

Run 'yum update php54' to update your system.
