The remote Oracle Linux 6 / 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2015-1066 advisory.

    - fix use after free CVE-2015-1351

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Oracle Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

According to its banner, the version of PHP 5.5.x running on the remote web server is prior to 5.5.24. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - An unspecified use-after-free error exists in the
    _zend_shared_memdup() function within file     ext/opcache/zend_shared_alloc.c that allows an     unauthenticated, remote attacker to have an unspecified     impact. (CVE-2015-1351)

  - A NULL pointer dereference flaw exists in the     build_tablename() function within file pgsql.c in the     PostgreSQL extension due to a failure to validate token     extraction for table names. An authenticated, remote     attacker can exploit this, via a crafted name, to cause     a denial of service condition. (CVE-2015-1352)

  - An out-of-bounds read error exists in the Phar component     due to improper validation of user-supplied input when     handling phar parsing during unserialize() function     calls. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit     this to cause a denial of service condition or the     disclosure of memory contents. (CVE-2015-2783)

  - A memory corruption issue exists in the     phar_parse_metadata() function in file ext/phar/phar.c     due to improper validation of user-supplied input when     parsing a specially crafted TAR archive. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to     cause a denial of service condition or the execution of     arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-3307)

  - Multiple stack-based buffer overflow conditions exist in     the phar_set_inode() function in file phar_internal.h     when handling archive files, such as tar, zip, or phar     files. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit     these to cause a denial of service condition or the     execution or arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-3329)

  - A flaw exists in the Apache2handler SAPI component when     handling pipelined HTTP requests that allows an     unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of     service condition or the execution of arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2015-3330)

  - A flaw exists in multiple functions due to a failure to     check for NULL byte (%00) sequences in a path when     processing or reading a file. An unauthenticated, remote     attacker can exploit this, via specially crafted input     to an application calling those functions, to bypass     intended restrictions and disclose potentially     sensitive information. (CVE-2015-3411, CVE-2015-3412)

  - A type confusion error exists in multiple functions     within file ext/soap/soap.c that is triggered when     calling unserialize(). An unauthenticated, remote     attacker can exploit this to disclose memory contents,     cause a denial of service condition, or execute     arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-4599, CVE-2015-4600)

  - Multiple type confusion errors exist within files     ext/soap/php_encoding.c, ext/soap/php_http.c, and     ext/soap/soap.c that allow an unauthenticated, remote     attacker to cause a denial of service condition or the     execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-4601)

  - A type confusion error exists in the
    __PHP_Incomplete_Class() function within file     ext/standard/incomplete_class.c that allows an     unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of     service condition or the execution of arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2015-4602)

  - A type confusion error exists in the     exception::getTraceAsString() function within file     Zend/zend_exceptions.c that allows a remote attacker to     execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-4603)

  - A denial of service vulnerability exists due to a flaw     in the bundled libmagic library, specifically in the     mget() function within file softmagic.c. The function     fails to maintain a certain pointer relationship. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a     crafted string, to crash the application.
    (CVE-2015-4604)

  - A denial of service vulnerability exists due to a flaw     in the bundled libmagic library, specifically in the     mcopy() function within file softmagic.c. The function     fails to properly handle an offset that exceeds     'bytecnt'. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can     exploit this, via a crafted string, to crash the     application. (CVE-2015-4605)

  - A flaw exists in the ZEND_VM_HELPER_EX() function within     file /Zend/zend_vm_def.h when handling a __get()     function call. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can     exploit this to cause a cause a denial of service     condition.

  - A type confusion error exists in the     php_stream_url_wrap_http_ex() function within file     ext/standard/http_fopen_wrapper.c that allows an     unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary     code.

  - A use-after-free error exists in the php_curl() function     within file ext/curl/interface.c that allows an     unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary     code.

  - A use-after-free error exists in the SPL component,     specifically in the spl_object_storage_get_gc() function     within file ext/spl/spl_observer.c. An unauthenticated,     remote attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary     code.

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

Updated php packages that fix multiple security issues and several bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having Important security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section.

PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language commonly used with the Apache HTTP Server.

A flaw was found in the way the PHP module for the Apache httpd web server handled pipelined requests. A remote attacker could use this flaw to trigger the execution of a PHP script in a deinitialized interpreter, causing it to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2015-3330)

A flaw was found in the way PHP parsed multipart HTTP POST requests. A specially crafted request could cause PHP to use an excessive amount of CPU time. (CVE-2015-4024)

An uninitialized pointer use flaw was found in PHP's Exif extension. A specially crafted JPEG or TIFF file could cause a PHP application using the exif_read_data() function to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running that PHP application. (CVE-2015-0232)

An integer overflow flaw leading to a heap-based buffer overflow was found in the way PHP's FTP extension parsed file listing FTP server responses. A malicious FTP server could use this flaw to cause a PHP application to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2015-4022)

Multiple flaws were discovered in the way PHP performed object unserialization. Specially crafted input processed by the unserialize() function could cause a PHP application to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2014-8142, CVE-2015-0231, CVE-2015-0273, CVE-2015-2787, CVE-2015-4147, CVE-2015-4148, CVE-2015-4599, CVE-2015-4600, CVE-2015-4601, CVE-2015-4602, CVE-2015-4603)

It was found that certain PHP functions did not properly handle file names containing a NULL character. A remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to make a PHP script access unexpected files and bypass intended file system access restrictions. (CVE-2015-2348, CVE-2015-4025, CVE-2015-4026, CVE-2015-3411, CVE-2015-3412, CVE-2015-4598)

Multiple flaws were found in the way the way PHP's Phar extension parsed Phar archives. A specially crafted archive could cause PHP to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code when opened.
(CVE-2015-2301, CVE-2015-2783, CVE-2015-3307, CVE-2015-3329, CVE-2015-4021)

Multiple flaws were found in PHP's File Information (fileinfo) extension. A remote attacker could cause a PHP application to crash if it used fileinfo to identify type of attacker supplied files.
(CVE-2014-9652, CVE-2015-4604, CVE-2015-4605)

A heap buffer overflow flaw was found in the enchant_broker_request_dict() function of PHP's enchant extension. An attacker able to make a PHP application enchant dictionaries could possibly cause it to crash. (CVE-2014-9705)

A buffer over-read flaw was found in the GD library used by the PHP gd extension. A specially crafted GIF file could cause a PHP application using the imagecreatefromgif() function to crash. (CVE-2014-9709)

This update also fixes the following bugs :

* The libgmp library in some cases terminated unexpectedly with a segmentation fault when being used with other libraries that use the GMP memory management. With this update, PHP no longer changes libgmp memory allocators, which prevents the described crash from occurring.
(BZ#1212305)

* When using the Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) API, the PHP process in some cases terminated unexpectedly with a segmentation fault. The underlying code has been adjusted to prevent this crash.
(BZ#1212299)

* Previously, running PHP on a big-endian system sometimes led to memory corruption in the fileinfo module. This update adjusts the behavior of the PHP pointer so that it can be freed without causing memory corruption. (BZ#1212298)

All php users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to correct these issues. After installing the updated packages, the httpd daemon must be restarted for the update to take effect.
