PHP before 5.2.1 allows attackers to bypass safe_mode and open_basedir restrictions via unspecified vectors in the session extension. NOTE: it is possible that this issue is a duplicate of CVE-2006-6383.

According to its banner, the version of PHP installed on the remote host is older than 5.2.1.  Such versions may be affected by several issues, including buffer overflows, format string vulnerabilities, arbitrary code execution, 'safe_mode' and 'open_basedir' bypasses, and clobbering of super-globals.

According to its banner, the version of PHP installed on the remote host is older than 4.4.5.  Such versions may be affected by several issues, including buffer overflows, format string vulnerabilities, arbitrary code execution, 'safe_mode' and 'open_basedir' bypasses, and clobbering of super-globals.

Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in PHP, including : buffer overflows, stack overflows, format string, and information disclosure vulnerabilities.

The session extension contained safe_mode and open_basedir bypasses, but the FreeBSD Security Officer does not consider these real security vulnerabilities, since safe_mode and open_basedir are insecure by design and should not be relied upon.

The remote host is running PHP less than 5.2.0.  This version is vulnerable to around 180 bugs.  An attacker exploiting these flaws would be able to impact confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
