medium Nessus Network Monitor Plugin ID 8679
Synopsis
The remote web server uses a version of PHP that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.Description
Versions of PHP 5.4.x earlier than 5.4.29, or 5.5.x earlier than 5.5.13 are exposed to the following issues :- A flaw exists with the 'cdf_unpack_summary_info()' function within 'src/cdf.c' where multiple file_printf calls occur when handling specially crafted CDF files. This could allow a context dependent attacker to crash the web application using PHP. (Bug 67328 / CVE-2014-0237)
- A flaw exists with the 'cdf_read_property_info()' function within 'src/cdf.c' where an infinite loop occurs when handling specially crafted CDF files. This could allow a context dependent attacker to crash the web application using PHP. (Bug 67327 / CVE-2014-0238)
- An out-of-bounds read exists in printf when parsing a single quote as the padding specifier. (Bug 67249)
Solution
Apply the vendor patch or upgrade to PHP version 5.5.13 or later. If 5.5.x cannot be installed, 5.4.29 is also patched for these vulnerabilities.See Also
