    Multiple security issues were found in PHP, a widely-used open source     general purpose scripting language, which could result in denial of     service, SQL injection, information disclosure or the execution of     arbitrary code.

    For the stable distribution (trixie), these problems have been fixed in     version 8.4.24-1~deb13u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your php8.4 packages.

    For the detailed security status of php8.4 please refer to its security     tracker page at:
    https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/php8.4

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

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

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - Circular symbolic links in phar archives could lead to unbounded recursion, exhausting the C stack and     crashing the PHP process, in PHP versions from 8.2.* before 8.2.33, from 8.3.* before 8.3.33, from 8.4.*     before 8.4.24, and from 8.5.* before 8.5.9. (CVE-2026-7260)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

The remote Fedora 44 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the FEDORA-2026-6131a972fe advisory.

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

The version of PHP installed on the remote host is prior to 8.5.9. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the Version 8.5.9 advisory.

  - Improper escaping of backslashes in attacker-provided parameters would allow for trivial SQL injection in     PHP versions from 8.2.* before 8.2.33, from 8.3.* before 8.3.33, from 8.4.* before 8.4.24, and from 8.5.*     before 8.5.9. (CVE-2026-17543)

  - Attacker-provided inputs to bccomp() could lead to an out-of-bounds write with stack and heap corruption     in PHP versions from 8.4.* before 8.4.24 and from 8.5.* before 8.5.9. (CVE-2026-17544)

  - Circular symbolic links in phar archives could lead to unbounded recursion, exhausting the C stack and     crashing the PHP process, in PHP versions from 8.2.* before 8.2.33, from 8.3.* before 8.3.33, from 8.4.*     before 8.4.24, and from 8.5.* before 8.5.9. (CVE-2026-7260)
