PHP 5.4.x < 5.4.16 Multiple Vulnerabilities
High Nessus Plugin ID 66843
Synopsis
The remote web server uses a version of PHP that is potentially affected by multiple vulnerabilities.
Description
According to its banner, the version of PHP 5.4.x installed on the remote host is prior to 5.4.16. It is, therefore, potentially affected by the following vulnerabilities:
- An error exists in the mimetype detection of 'mp3' files that could lead to a denial of service. (Bug #64830)
- An error exists in the function 'php_quot_print_encode' in the file 'ext/standard/quot_print.c' that could allow a heap-based buffer overflow when attempting to parse certain strings. (Bug #64879)
- An integer overflow error exists related to the value of 'JEWISH_SDN_MAX' in the file 'ext/calendar/jewish.c' that could allow denial of service attacks. (Bug #64895)
Note that this plugin does not attempt to exploit these vulnerabilities, but instead relies only on PHP's self-reported version number.
Solution
Apply the vendor patch or upgrade to PHP version 5.4.16 or later.
