Synopsis

The remote web server is running a version of PHP that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

According to its banner, the version of PHP 5.4.x installed on the remote host is a version prior to 5.4.30. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

- Boundary checking errors exist related to the Fileinfo extension, Composite Document Format (CDF) handling and the functions 'cdf_read_short_sector', 'cdf_check_stream_offset', 'cdf_count_chain', and 'cdf_read_property_info'. (CVE-2014-0207, CVE-2014-3479, CVE-2014-3480, CVE-2014-3487)

- A pascal string size handling error exists related to the Fileinfo extension and the function 'mconvert'.
(CVE-2014-3478)

- A type-confusion error exists related to the Standard PHP Library (SPL) extension and the function 'unserialize'. (CVE-2014-3515)

- An error exists related to configuration scripts and temporary file handling that could allow insecure file usage. (CVE-2014-3981)

- A heap-based buffer overflow error exists related to the function 'dns_get_record' that could allow execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2014-4049)

- A type-confusion error exists related to the function 'php_print_info' that could allow disclosure of sensitive information. (CVE-2014-4721)

- An out-of-bounds read error exists in the timelib_meridian_with_check() function due to a failure to properly check string ends. A remote attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition or to disclose memory contents.

- An out-of-bounds read error exists in the date_parse_from_format() function due to a failure in the date parsing routines to properly check string ends. A remote attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition or to disclose memory contents.

- An error exists related to unserialization and 'SplFileObject' handling that could allow denial of service attacks. (Bug #67072)

- A double free error exists related to the Intl extension and the method 'Locale::parseLocale' having unspecified impact. (Bug #67349)

- A buffer overflow error exists related to the Intl extension and the functions 'locale_get_display_name' and 'uloc_getDisplayName' having unspecified impact.
(Bug #67397)

Note that Nessus has not attempted to exploit these issues, but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to PHP version 5.4.30 or later.
