The crypt function in PHP 5.3.7, when the MD5 hash type is used, returns the value of the salt argument instead of the hashed string, which might allow remote attackers to bypass authentication via an arbitrary password, a different vulnerability than CVE-2011-2483.

According to the web server's banner, the version of HP System Management Homepage (SMH) hosted on the remote host is earlier than 7.0.  As such, it is reportedly affected by the following vulnerabilities :

 - An error exists in the 'generate-id' function in the    bundled libxslt library that can allow disclosure of    heap memory addresses. (CVE-2011-0195)

 - An unspecified input validation error exists and can    allow cross-site request forgery attacks. (CVE-2011-3846)

 - Unspecified errors can allow attackers to carry out    denial of service attacks via unspecified vectors.
   (CVE-2012-0135, CVE-2012-1993)

 - The bundled version of PHP contains multiple    vulnerabilities. (CVE-2010-3436, CVE-2010-4409,    CVE-2010-4645, CVE-2011-1148, CVE-2011-1153,    CVE-2011-1464, CVE-2011-1467, CVE-2011-1468,    CVE-2011-1470, CVE-2011-1471, CVE-2011-1938,    CVE-2011-2202, CVE-2011-2483, CVE-2011-3182,    CVE-2011-3189, CVE-2011-3267, CVE-2011-3268)

 - The bundled version of Apache contains multiple    vulnerabilities. (CVE-2010-1452, CVE-2010-1623,    CVE-2010-2068,  CVE-2010-2791, CVE-2011-0419,    CVE-2011-1928, CVE-2011-3192, CVE-2011-3348,    CVE-2011-3368, CVE-2011-3639)

 - OpenSSL libraries are contained in several of the    bundled components and contain multiple vulnerabilities.
   (CVE-2011-0014, CVE-2011-1468, CVE-2011-1945,    CVE-2011-3207,CVE-2011-3210)

 - Curl libraries are contained in several of the bundled    components and contain multiple vulnerabilities.
   (CVE-2009-0037, CVE-2010-0734, CVE-2011-2192)

Versions of PHP 5.3.x prior to 5.3.7 contains a bug in the crypt() function when generating salted MD5 hashes. The function only returns the salt rather than the salt and hash. Any authentication mechanism that uses crypt() could authorize all authentication attempts due to this bug.

According to its banner, PHP 5.3.7 is installed on the remote host.  This version contains a bug in the crypt() function when generating salted MD5 hashes.
