Amazon Linux AMI : php56 / php55 (ALAS-2016-640)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 87974

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The imagerotate function lacked validation of the background color variable, an integer which represents an index of the color palette. A number larger than the length of the color palette could be used in the function, reading beyond the memory of the color palette and causing an information leak.

Solution

Run 'yum update php56' to update your system.

Run 'yum update php55' to update your system.
