Debian DLA-1928-1 : php5 security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 129304

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

An update has been made to php5, a server-side, HTML-embedded scripting language. Specficially, as reported in #805222, the ability to build extensions in certain older versions of PHP within Debian has been hindered by an upstream change which first appeared in PHP 5.6.15. This update applies a fix which restores the ability to build PHP extensions for Debian 8 'jessie' so that a forthcoming PECL extension update can be built and released.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', this problem has been fixed in version 5.6.40+dfsg-0+deb8u6.

We recommend that you upgrade your php5 packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected packages.
