| Detailed Description |
According to its banner, the version of PHP 5.3.x installed on the remote host is a version prior to 5.3.13. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerability :
- when configured as a CGI script (aka php-cgi), does not properly handle query strings that contain a %3D sequence but no = (equals sign) character, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by placing command-line options in the query string, related to lack of skipping a certain php_getopt for the 'd' case.
- php-wrapper.fcgi does not properly handle command-line arguments, which allows remote attackers to bypass a protection mechanism in PHP 5.3.12 and 5.4.2 and execute arbitrary code by leveraging improper interaction between the PHP sapi/cgi/cgi_main.c component and a query string beginning with a +- sequence.
- when configured as a CGI script (aka php-cgi), does not properly handle query strings that lack an = (equals sign) character, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (resource consumption) by placing command-line options in the query string, related to lack of skipping a certain php_getopt for the 'T' case.
* Note: This check solely relied on the version number of the remote PHP to assess this vulnerability, so this might be a false positive.
