Synopsis

Description

According to its banner, the version of PHP running on the remote web server is 5.6.x prior to 5.6.13. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

- Multiple use-after-free memory errors exist related to the unserialize() function, which a remote attacker can exploit to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-6834)

- A use-after-free memory error exists related to the php_var_unserialize() function. A remote attacker, using a crafted serialize string, can exploit this to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-6835)

- A type confusion error exists related to the serialize_function_call() function due to improper validation of the headers field, which a remote attacker can exploit to have unspecified impact. (CVE-2015-6836)

- A flaw exists in the XSLTProcessor class due to improper validation of input from the libxslt library, which a remote attacker can exploit to have an unspecified impact. (CVE-2015-6837, CVE-2015-6838)

- A flaw exists in the php_zip_extract_file() function in file php_zip.c due to improper sanitization of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to create arbitrary directories outside of the restricted path.

- A NULL pointer dereference flaw exists in the spl_autoload() function in file php_spl.c due to improper sanitization of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause a PHP application to crash.

- A flaw exists in the parse_ini_file() and parse_ini_string() functions due to improper sanitization of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause a PHP application to crash.

- A flaw exists in the CLI SAPI Web Server due to improper sanitization of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to access arbitrary files outside of the restricted path.

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