The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200509-19 (PHP: Vulnerabilities in included PCRE and XML-RPC libraries)

PHP makes use of a private copy of libpcre which is subject to an     integer overflow leading to a heap overflow (see GLSA 200508-17). It     also ships with an XML-RPC library affected by a script injection     vulnerability (see GLSA 200508-13).

Impact :

An attacker could target a PHP-based web application that would     use untrusted data as regular expressions, potentially resulting in the     execution of arbitrary code. If web applications make use of the     XML-RPC library shipped with PHP, they are also vulnerable to remote     execution of arbitrary PHP code.

Workaround :

There is no known workaround at this time.
