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 running on the remote host is 5.5.x prior to 5.5.31 or 5.6.x prior to 5.6.17. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :- An out-of-bounds read error exists in the gdImageRotateInterpolated() function in file gd_interpolation.c when handling background colors.
A remote attacker can exploit this to disclose memory contents or crash the application. (CVE-2016-1903)
- An unspecified flaw exists in file fpm_log.c in the fpm_log_write() function when handling very long HTTP requests. A local attacker can exploit this to obtain sensitive information, via access to the access log file. (CVE-2016-5114)
- A use-after-free error exists in file wddx.c in the php_wddx_pop_element() function when handling WDDX packet deserialization. A remote attacker can exploit this, by dereferencing already freed memory, to execute arbitrary code.
- A type confusion flaw exists in file xmlrpc-epi-php.c in the PHP_to_XMLRPC_worker() function. A remote attacker can exploit this to disclose memory contents, crash the application process, or have other impact.
- A type confusion flaw exists in file wddx.c when handling WDDX packet deserialization. A remote attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary code.
- A flaw exists in file lsapilib.c when handling requests due to the LSAPI module failing to clear its secrets in child processes. A remote attacker can exploit this to gain access to memory contents, resulting in the disclosure of sensitive information.
- A flaw exists in file lsapilib.c in the parseRequest() function due to a failure to properly sanitize input passed through multiple, unspecified parameters. A remote attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service.
