Synopsis

PHP 7.4.x < 7.4.2 Multiple Vulnerabilities

Description

According to its banner, the version of PHP running on the remote web server is prior to 7.2.27, 7.3.x prior to 7.3.14, or 7.4.x prior to 7.4.2. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

 - A buffer overflow exists in mbfl_filt_conv_big5_wchar due to an input validation error. (CVE-2020-7060)

 - An out-of-bounds READ error exists in php_strip_tags_ex due to an input validation error. (CVE-2020-7059)

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

Solution

Upgrade to PHP version 7.4.2 or later.
