medium Nessus Plugin ID 165596

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Slackware Linux host is missing a security update to php.

Description

The version of php installed on the remote host is prior to 7.4.32. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SSA:2022-273-02 advisory.

 - In PHP versions before 7.4.31, 8.0.24 and 8.1.11, the phar uncompressor code would recursively uncompress quines gzip files, resulting in an infinite loop. (CVE-2022-31628)

 - In PHP versions before 7.4.31, 8.0.24 and 8.1.11, the vulnerability enables network and same-site attackers to set a standard insecure cookie in the victim's browser which is treated as a `__Host-` or `__Secure-` cookie by PHP applications. (CVE-2022-31629)

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

Solution

Upgrade the affected php package.
