Synopsis

PHP 7.2.x < 7.2.23 Multiple Vulnerabilities

Description

According to its banner, the version of PHP running on the remote web server is 7.2.x prior to 7.2.23 or 7.3.x prior to 7.3.10. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

 - A heap-based buffer overflow exists in mb_eregi.

 - An uninitialized buffer exists in odium_crypto_generichash_init().

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

Solution

Upgrade to PHP version 7.2.23 or later.
