PHP 7.2.x < 7.2.3 Stack Buffer Overflow

Description

According to its banner, the version of PHP running on the remote web server is 7.2.x prior to 7.2.3. It is, therefore, affected by a stack buffer overflow vulnerability.

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