| Detailed Description |
According to its banner, the version of PHP 5.6.x installed on the remote host is a version prior to 5.6.14 The PHP versions are affected by multiple vulnerabilities :
- A NULL pointer dereference flaw exists in the phar_get_fp_offset() function in ext/phar/util.c that is triggered when pointing to a non-existent file. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition. (OSVDB 128347)
- An uninitialized pointer flaw exists in the phar_make_dirstream() function in ext/phar/dirstream.c that is triggered when handling a zip entry filename that is a single forward slash. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition or to disclose sensitive information. (OSVDB 128348)
