| Detailed Description |
According to its banner, the version of PHP 5.4.x, 5.5.x, 5.6.x installed on the remote host is a version prior to 5.4.38, 5.5.22, 5.6.6. The PHP versions are affected by multiple vulnerabilities :
- A heap-based buffer overflow flaw in the GNU C Library(glibc) due to improperly validating user-supplied input in the glibc functions __nss_hostname_digits_dots(),
gethostbyname(), and gethostbyname2(). This allows a remote attacker to cause a buffer overflow, resulting in a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-0235)
- A use-after-free flaw exists in the function hp_date_timezone_initialize_from_hash() within the 'ext/date/php_date.c' script. An attacker can exploit this to access sensitive information or crash applications linked to PHP. (CVE-2015-0273)
* Note: This check solely relied on the version number of the remote PHP to assess this vulnerability, so this might be a false positive.
