PHP 7.0.x < 7.0.16 / 7.1.x < 7.1.2 Multiple Vulnerabilities

critical Nessus Network Monitor Plugin ID 700086

Synopsis

The remote web server uses a version of PHP that is affected by multiple attack vectors.

Description

Versions of PHP 7.0.x prior to 7.0.16 and 7.1.x prior to 7.1.2 are affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

 - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the PHP-Win client due to a DEP violation. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code.
 - A denial of service vulnerability exists in 'mysqli.c' due to a memory leak. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to crash the application.

Solution

Upgrade to PHP version 7.1.2. If 7.1.x cannot be obtained, 7.0.16 has also been patched for these vulnerabilities.
