| Detailed Description |
According to its banner, the version of PHP 5.5.x installed on the remote host is a version prior to 5.5.30 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)
* Note: This check solely relied on the version number of the remote PHP to assess this vulnerability, so this might be a false positive.
