According to its banner, the version of PHP running on the remote web server is 5.6.x prior to 5.6.31. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - An out-of-bounds read error exists in the PCRE library     in the compile_bracket_matchingpath() function within     file pcre_jit_compile.c. An unauthenticated, remote     attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted     regular expression, to crash a process linked to the     library, resulting in a denial of service condition.
    (CVE-2017-6004)

  - An out-of-bounds read error exists in the GD Graphics     Library (LibGD) in the gdImageCreateFromGifCtx()     function within file gd_gif_in.c when handling a     specially crafted GIF file. An unauthenticated, remote     attacker can exploit this to disclose sensitive memory     contents or crash a process linked to the library.
    (CVE-2017-7890)

  - An out-of-bounds read error exists in Oniguruma in the     match_at() function within file regexec.c. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to     disclose sensitive memory contents or crash a process     linked to the library. (CVE-2017-9224)

  - An out-of-bounds write error exists in Oniguruma in the     next_state_val() function during regular expression     compilation. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can     exploit this to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-9226)

  - An out-of-bounds read error exists in Oniguruma in the     mbc_enc_len() function within file utf8.c. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to     disclose memory contents or crash a process linked to     the library. (CVE-2017-9227)

  - An out-of-bounds write error exists in Oniguruma in the     bitset_set_range() function during regular expression     compilation. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can     exploit this to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-9228)

  - An invalid pointer deference flaw exists in Oniguruma     in the left_adjust_char_head() function within file     regexec.c during regular expression compilation. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to     crash a process linked to the library, resulting in a     denial of service condition. (CVE-2017-9229)

  - A denial of service condition exists in PHP when     handling overlarge POST requests. An unauthenticated,     remote attacker can exploit this to exhaust available     CPU resources. (CVE-2017-11142)

  - An extended invalid free error exists in PHP in the     php_wddx_push_element() function within file     ext/wddx/wddx.c when parsing empty boolean tags.
    An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to     cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2017-11143)

  - A flaw exists in OpenSSL in the EVP_SealInit() function     within file crypto/evp/p_seal.c due to returning an     undocumented value of '-1'. An unauthenticated, remote     attacker can exploit this to cause an unspecified     impact. (CVE-2017-11144)

  - An out-of-bounds read error exists in PHP in the     php_parse_date() function within file     ext/date/lib/parse_date.c. An unauthenticated, remote     attacker can exploit this to disclose memory contents or     cause a denial of service condition.
    (CVE-2017-11145)

  - An out-of-bounds read error exists in PHP in the     finish_nested_data() function within file     ext/standard/var_unserializer.re. An unauthenticated,     remote attacker can exploit this to disclose memory     contents or cause a denial of service condition.

  - An off-by-one overflow condition exists in PHP in the     INI parsing API, specifically in the zend_ini_do_op()     function within file Zend/zend_ini_parser.y, due to     improper validation of user-supplied input. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to     cause a denial of service condition or the execution of     arbitrary code.

  - A Heap buffer overread flaw in finish_nested_data     while unserializing untrusted data could lead to an     unspecified impact on the integrity of PHP.
    (CVE-2017-12933)

  - A stack-based buffer overflow in the zend_ini_do_op()     function in Zend/zend_ini_parser.c could cause a denial     of service or potentially allow executing code.
    (CVE-2017-11628)

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

The Tenable SecurityCenter application installed on the remote host is missing a security patch. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities in the bundled version of PHP :
