New! Vulnerability Priority Rating (VPR)
Tenable calculates a dynamic VPR for every vulnerability. VPR combines vulnerability information with threat intelligence and machine learning algorithms to predict which vulnerabilities are most likely to be exploited in attacks. Read more about what VPR is and how it's different from CVSS.
VPR Score: 3.6
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 5.5.x installed on the remote host is a version prior to 5.5.10. It is, therefore, potentially affected by the following vulnerabilities :
- An error exists related to the Fileinfo extension and the bundled libmagic library that could allow denial of service attacks. (CVE-2014-1943)
- An error exists related to the Fileinfo extension and the process of analyzing Portable Executable (PE) format files that could allow denial of service attacks or possibly arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2014-2270)
- The fix for CVE-2013-7327 was incomplete and NULL pointers can still be dereferenced. (Bug #66815)
Note that this plugin does not attempt to exploit these issues, but instead relies only on PHP's self-reported version number.
Solution
Upgrade to PHP version 5.5.10 or later.
