critical Nessus Plugin ID 91433

Language:

New! Plugin Severity Now Using CVSS v3

The calculated severity for Plugins has been updated to use CVSS v3 by default. Plugins that do not have a CVSS v3 score will fall back to CVSS v2 for calculating severity. Severity display preferences can be toggled in the settings dropdown.

Synopsis

The remote device is missing a vendor-supplied security patch.

Description

Use after free vulnerability was found in unserialize() function. We can create ZVAL and free it via Serializable::unserialize. However the unserialize() will still allow to use R: or r: to set references to that already freed memory. It is possible to use-after-free attack and execute arbitrary code remotely.

Solution

Upgrade to one of the non-vulnerable versions listed in the F5 Solution SOL17377.
