Synopsis

PHP 5.6.x < 5.6.2 Multiple Vulnerabilities

Description

According to its banner, the version of PHP 5.6.x installed on the remote host is prior to 5.6.2. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

 - A buffer overflow error exists in the function 'mkgmtime' that can allow application crashes or arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2014-3668)

 - An integer overflow error exists in the function 'unserialize' that can allow denial of service attacks. Note that this only affects 32-bit instances. (CVE-2014-3669)

 - A heap corruption error exists in the function 'exif_thumbnail' that can allow application crashes or arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2014-3670)

 - An input-validation error exists in the cURL extension's file 'ext/curl/interface.c' and NULL option handling that can allow information disclosure. (Bug #68089)

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

Solution

Upgrade to PHP version 5.6.2 or later.
