Synopsis

PHP 5.6.0 Development Releases CDF File NULL Pointer Dereference DoS

Description

According to its banner, the version of PHP installed on the remote host is a development version of 5.6.0. It is, therefore, affected by a NULL pointer dereference error in the 'libmagic' library of the 'fileinfo' extension when processing malformed CDF files. By uploading a specially crafted CDF file to the host, a remote attacker can cause a denial of service.

Note that the scanner has not attempted to exploit this issue but has instead relied only on application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to the stable version of PHP 5.6.0 or later.
