According to its banner, the version of PHP installed on the remote host is 5.4.x earlier than 5.4.4, and as such is potentially affected the following vulnerabilities :
- An integer overflow error exists in the function 'phar_parse_tarfile' in the file 'ext/phar/tar.c'. This error can lead to a heap-based buffer overflow when handling a maliciously crafted TAR file. Arbitrary code execution is possible due to this error. (CVE-2012-2386)
- A weakness exists in the 'crypt' function related to the DES implementation that can allow brute force attacks. (CVE-2012-2143)
* Note: This check solely relied on the version number of the remote WebLogic server to assess this vulnerability, so this might be a false positive.
