high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 464479

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - The mod_php module for the Apache HTTP Server allows local users with write access to PHP scripts to send
 signals to the server's process group and use the server's file descriptors, as demonstrated by sending a
 STOP signal, then intercepting incoming connections on the server's TCP port. NOTE: the PHP developer has
 disputed this vulnerability, saying "The opened file descriptors are opened by Apache. It is the job of
 Apache to protect them ... Not a bug in PHP. (CVE-2003-1307)
