PHP < 5.5.37, 5.6.23, 7.0.8 Multiple Vulnerabilties

The specific version of PHP that the system is running is reportedly affected by the following vulnerabilities:

• PHP contains an integer overflow condition in the json_decode() and json_utf8_to_utf16() functions in ext/standard/php_smart_str.h. The issue is triggered as user-supplied input is not properly validated. This may allow a remote attacker to cause a heap-based buffer overflow, causing a denial of service in a process linked against PHP or potentially allowing the execution of arbitrary code.

• PHP contains an out-of-bounds read flaw in the pass2_no_dither() function in ext/gd/libgd/gd_topal.c that may allow a remote attacker to crash a process utilizing PHP or potentially disclose memory contents.

• PHP contains an integer overflow condition in ext/standard/string.c. The issue is triggered as user-supplied input is not properly validated when handling string lengths. This may allow a remote attacker to have an unspecified impact.

• PHP contains a double-free flaw in the _php_mb_regex_ereg_replace_exec() function in ext/mbstring/php_mbregex.c that is triggered when handling a failed callback execution. This may allow a remote attacker to potentially execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-5768)

• PHP contains a NULL pointer dereference flaw in the _gdScaleVert() function in ext/gd/libgd/gd_interpolation.c that is triggered during the handling of _gdContributionsCalc return values. This may allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service in a process linked against PHP.

• PHP contains an integer overflow condition in ext/spl/spl_directory.c. The issue is triggered by an int/size_t confusion issue. This may allow a remote attacker to have an unspecified impact. (CVE-2016-5770)

• PHP contains an integer overflow condition in ext/mcrypt/mcrypt.c. The issue is triggered as user-supplied input is not properly validated when handling data values. This may allow a remote attacker to cause a heap-based buffer overflow, resulting in a denial of service in a process linked against PHP or potentially allowing the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-5769)

• PHP contains an integer overflow condition in the nl2br() function in ext/standard/string.c. The issue is triggered as user-supplied input is not properly validated when handling new_length values. This may allow a remote attacker to have an unspecified impact.

• PHP contains an integer overflow condition in multiple functions in ext/standard/string.c. The issue is triggered as user-supplied input is not properly validated when handling string values. This may allow a remote attacker to have an unspecified impact.

• PHP contains a double-free flaw in the php_wddx_process_data() function in ext/wddx/wddx.c that is triggered during the handling of specially crafted XML content. This may allow a remote attacker to potentially execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-5772)

• PHP contains an integer overflow condition in the gdImagePaletteToTrueColor() function in ext/gd/libgd/gd.c. The issue is triggered as user-supplied input is not properly validated. This may allow a remote attacker to cause a heap-based buffer overflow, resulting in a denial of service in a process linked against PHP or potentially allowing the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-5767)

• PHP contains an invalid free flaw in the phar_extract_file() function in ext/phar/phar_object.c. This may allow a remote attacker to have an unspecified impact. (CVE-2016-4473)

• PHP contains an integer overflow condition in the _gd2GetHeader() function in ext/gd/libgd/gd_gd2.c. The issue is triggered as user-supplied input is not properly validated. This may allow a remote attacker to cause a heap-based buffer overflow, resulting in a denial of service in a process linked against PHP or potentially allowing the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-5766)
