PHP 5.6.x < 5.6.1 add_post_var() Code Execution

critical Web App Scanning Plugin ID 98801

Synopsis

PHP 5.6.x < 5.6.1 add_post_var() Code Execution

Description

According to its banner, the version of PHP 5.6.x installed on the remote host is prior to 5.6.1. It is, therefore, affected by errors related to the function 'add_post_var' within file 'post_handler.c', the input filters, and the 'efree' function. Input filters that free the 'ksep' variable can also cause an improper 'efree' call. These issues can allow arbitrary code execution.

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

Solution

Upgrade to PHP version 5.6.1 or later.
