Checks for version of PHP Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is running a version of PHP which is older than 4.3.2 There is a flaw in this version which may permit a possible hacker who has the ability to inject an arbitrary argument to the function socket_iovec_alloc() to crash the remote service and possibly to execute arbitrary code. For this attack to work, PHP has to be compiled with the option --enable-sockets (which is disabled by default), and a possible hacker needs to be able to pass arbitrary values to socket_iovec_alloc(). Other functions are vulnerable to such flaws : openlog(), socket_recv(), socket_recvfrom() and emalloc() Solution : Upgrade to PHP 4.3.2 Network Security Threat Level: Low Networks Security ID: 7187, 7197, 7198, 7199, 7210, 7256, 7259 Vulnerability Assessment Copyright: This script is Copyright (C) 2003 Renaud Deraison |
