medium Nessus Plugin ID 293220

Synopsis

The remote MiracleLinux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote MiracleLinux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the AXSA:2024-8915:02 advisory.

 * CVE-2020-7071: fix URL validation with functions like filter_var($url, FILTER_VALIDATE_URL)
 * CVE-2021-21705: fix URL validation functionality via filter_var() function with FILTER_VALIDATE_URL parameter when an URL with invalid password field can be accepted as valid CVE(s):
 CVE-2020-7071 In PHP versions 7.3.x below 7.3.26, 7.4.x below 7.4.14 and 8.0.0, when validating URL with functions like filter_var($url, FILTER_VALIDATE_URL), PHP will accept an URL with invalid password as valid URL. This may lead to functions that rely on URL being valid to mis-parse the URL and produce wrong data as components of the URL.
 CVE-2021-21705 In PHP versions 7.3.x below 7.3.29, 7.4.x below 7.4.21 and 8.0.x below 8.0.8, when using URL validation functionality via filter_var() function with FILTER_VALIDATE_URL parameter, an URL with invalid password field can be accepted as valid. This can lead to the code incorrectly parsing the URL and potentially leading to other security implications - like contacting a wrong server or making a wrong access decision.
