Description

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-2658-1 advisory.

 Neal Poole and Tomas Hoger discovered that PHP incorrectly handled NULL bytes in file paths. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to bypass intended restrictions and create or obtain access to sensitive files. (CVE-2015-3411, CVE-2015-3412, CVE-2015-4025, CVE-2015-4026, CVE-2015-4598)

 Emmanuel Law discovered that the PHP phar extension incorrectly handled filenames starting with a NULL byte. A remote attacker could use this issue with a crafted tar archive to cause a denial of service.
 (CVE-2015-4021)

 Max Spelsberg discovered that PHP incorrectly handled the LIST command when connecting to remote FTP servers. A malicious FTP server could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-4022, CVE-2015-4643)

 Shusheng Liu discovered that PHP incorrectly handled certain malformed form data. A remote attacker could use this issue with crafted form data to cause CPU consumption, leading to a denial of service.
 (CVE-2015-4024)

 Andrea Palazzo discovered that the PHP Soap client incorrectly validated data types. A remote attacker could use this issue with crafted serialized data to possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-4147)

 Andrea Palazzo discovered that the PHP Soap client incorrectly validated that the uri property is a string. A remote attacker could use this issue with crafted serialized data to possibly obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2015-4148)

 Taoguang Chen discovered that PHP incorrectly validated data types in multiple locations. A remote attacker could possibly use these issues to obtain sensitive information or cause a denial of service.
 (CVE-2015-4599, CVE-2015-4600, CVE-2015-4601, CVE-2015-4602, CVE-2015-4603)

 It was discovered that the PHP Fileinfo component incorrectly handled certain files. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause PHP to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 15.04. (CVE-2015-4604, CVE-2015-4605)

 It was discovered that PHP incorrectly handled table names in php_pgsql_meta_data. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to cause PHP to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2015-4644)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
