Ubuntu 18.04 LTS : PHP regression (USN-5479-3)

high Nessus Plugin ID 162962

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-5479-3 advisory.

 USN-5479-1 fixed vulnerabilities in PHP. Unfortunately that update for CVE-2022-31625 was incomplete for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. This update fixes the problem.

 We apologize for the inconvenience.

 Original advisory details:

 Charles Fol discovered that PHP incorrectly handled initializing certain

 arrays when handling the pg_query_params function. A remote attacker could

 use this issue to cause PHP to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or

 possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-31625)

 Charles Fol discovered that PHP incorrectly handled passwords in mysqlnd. A

 remote attacker could use this issue to cause PHP to crash, resulting in a

 denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-31626)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
