| Detailed Description |
According to its banner, the version of PHP 5.5.x installed on the remote host is a version prior to 5.5.25. The PHP versions are affected by multiple vulnerabilities :
- Multiple flaws exist related to using pathnames containing NULL bytes. A remote attacker can exploit these flaws, by combining the '\0' character with a safe file extension, to bypass access restrictions. (CVE-2006-7243, CVE-2015-4025)
- A flaw exists in the multipart_buffer_headers() function in rfc1867.c due to improper handling of multipart/form-data in HTTP requests. A remote attacker can exploit this flaw to cause a consumption of CPU resources, resulting in a denial of service condition. (CVE-2015-4024)
- A security bypass vulnerability exists due to a flaw in the pcntl_exec implementation that truncates a pathname upon encountering the '\x00' character. A remote attacker can exploit this, via a crafted first argument, to bypass intended extension restrictions and execute arbitrary files. (CVE-2015-4026)
* Note: This check solely relied on the version number of the remote PHP to assess this vulnerability, so this might be a false positive.
