PHP 7.1.x < 7.1.1 Multiple Vulnerabilities

critical Web App Scanning Plugin ID 98856

Synopsis

PHP 7.1.x < 7.1.1 Multiple Vulnerabilities

Description

According to its banner, the version of PHP running on the remote web server is 7.1.x prior to 7.1.1. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

- A use-after-free error exists that is triggered when handling unserialized object properties. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted request, to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-7479)

- An integer overflow condition exists in the _zend_hash_init() function in zend_hash.c due to improper validation of unserialized objects. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-5340)

- A floating pointer exception flaw exists in the exif_convert_any_to_int() function in exif.c that is triggered when handling TIFF and JPEG image tags. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause a crash, resulting in a denial of service condition. (CVE-2016-10158)

- An out-of-bounds read error exists in the finish_nested_data() function in var_unserializer.c due to improper validation of unserialized data. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause a crash, resulting in a denial of service condition or the disclosure of memory contents. (CVE-2016-10161)

- A NULL pointer dereference flaw exists in the php_wddx_pop_element() function in wddx.c due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause a crash, resulting in a denial of service condition. (CVE-2016-10162)

- An signed integer overflow condition exists in gd_io.c due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to have an unspecified impact. (CVE-2016-10168)

- A denial of service vulnerability exists in the bundled GD Graphics Library (LibGD) in the gdImageCreateFromGd2Ctx() function in gd_gd2.c due to improper validation of images. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted image, to crash the process. (CVE-2016-10167)

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 7.1.1 or later.
