Synopsis
The version of PHP running on the remote web server is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.Description
According to its banner, the version of PHP running on the remote web server is 7.0.x prior to 7.0.13. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :- A stack consumption condition exists in the gdImageFillToBorder function of the gd.c script within the GD Graphics Library (libgd). An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this issue, via a crafted call to imagefilltoborder using a negative color value, to cause the application to stop responding.
(CVE-2016-9933)
- A denial of service (DoS) vulnerability exists in the ext/wddx/wddx.c script. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this issue, via crafted serialized data in a wddxPacket XML document, to cause the application to stop responding. (CVE-2016-9934)
- A flaw exists in the parse_url() function due to returning the incorrect host. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to have a multiple impacts depending on how the function is implemented, which can include bypassing authentication or conducting open redirection and server-side request forgery attacks.
- An integer overflow condition exists in the
_php_imap_mail() function in file ext/imap/php_imap.c when handling overly long strings. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause a heap-based buffer overflow, resulting in a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code.
- An integer overflow condition exists in the gdImageAALine() function within file ext/gd/libgd/gd.c due to improper validation of line limit values. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause an out-of-bounds memory read or write, resulting in a denial of service condition, the disclosure of memory contents, or the execution of arbitrary code.
Note that this software is reportedly affected by other vulnerabilities as well that have not been fixed yet in version 7.0.13.
Solution
Upgrade to PHP version 7.0.13 or later.Note that this software is reportedly affected by other vulnerabilities as well. Patches for these have been committed to the source code repository, but until they are incorporated into the next release of the software, manually installing an updated snapshot is the only known solution.
