The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-2658-1 advisory.

    Neal Poole and Tomas Hoger discovered that PHP incorrectly handled NULL bytes in file paths. A remote     attacker could possibly use this issue to bypass intended restrictions and create or obtain access to     sensitive files. (CVE-2015-3411, CVE-2015-3412, CVE-2015-4025, CVE-2015-4026, CVE-2015-4598)

    Emmanuel Law discovered that the PHP phar extension incorrectly handled filenames starting with a NULL     byte. A remote attacker could use this issue with a crafted tar archive to cause a denial of service.
    (CVE-2015-4021)

    Max Spelsberg discovered that PHP incorrectly handled the LIST command when connecting to remote FTP     servers. A malicious FTP server could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-4022,     CVE-2015-4643)

    Shusheng Liu discovered that PHP incorrectly handled certain malformed form data. A remote attacker could     use this issue with crafted form data to cause CPU consumption, leading to a denial of service.
    (CVE-2015-4024)

    Andrea Palazzo discovered that the PHP Soap client incorrectly validated data types. A remote attacker     could use this issue with crafted serialized data to possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-4147)

    Andrea Palazzo discovered that the PHP Soap client incorrectly validated that the uri property is a     string. A remote attacker could use this issue with crafted serialized data to possibly obtain sensitive     information. (CVE-2015-4148)

    Taoguang Chen discovered that PHP incorrectly validated data types in multiple locations. A remote     attacker could possibly use these issues to obtain sensitive information or cause a denial of service.
    (CVE-2015-4599, CVE-2015-4600, CVE-2015-4601, CVE-2015-4602, CVE-2015-4603)

    It was discovered that the PHP Fileinfo component incorrectly handled certain files. A remote attacker     could use this issue to cause PHP to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected     Ubuntu 15.04. (CVE-2015-4604, CVE-2015-4605)

    It was discovered that PHP incorrectly handled table names in php_pgsql_meta_data. A local attacker could     possibly use this issue to cause PHP to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2015-4644)

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

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

Updated php packages that fix multiple security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having Moderate 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 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-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-2015-4026, 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)

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)

A double free flaw was found in zend_ts_hash_graceful_destroy() function in the PHP ZTS module. This flaw could possibly cause a PHP application to crash. (CVE-2014-9425)

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.

PHP before 5.4.41, 5.5.x before 5.5.25, and 5.6.x before 5.6.9 truncates a pathname upon encountering a \x00 character in certain situations, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended extension restrictions and access files or directories with unexpected names via a crafted argument to (1) set_include_path, (2) tempnam, (3) rmdir, or (4) readlink. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2006-7243 .
