"The remote MiracleLinux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the
AXSA:2009-38:01 advisory.

    PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language. PHP attempts to make it easy for developers to write
    dynamically generated webpages. PHP also offers built-in database integration for several commercial and
    non-commercial database management systems, so writing a database-enabled webpage with PHP is fairly
    simple. The most common use of PHP coding is probably as a replacement for CGI scripts.
    The php package contains the module which adds support for the PHP language to Apache HTTP Server.
    Fixed bugs:
    CVE-2008-3658
    Buffer overflow in the imageloadfont function in ext/gd/gd.c in PHP 4.4.x before 4.4.9 and PHP 5.2 before
    5.2.6-r6 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute
    arbitrary code via a crafted font file.
    CVE-2008-3660
    PHP 4.4.x before 4.4.9, and 5.x through 5.2.6, when used as a FastCGI module, allows remote attackers to
    cause a denial of service (crash) via a request with multiple dots preceding the extension, as
    demonstrated using foo..php.
    CVE-2008-5498
    Array index error in the imageRotate function in PHP 5.2.8 and earlier allows context-dependent attackers
    to read the contents of arbitrary memory locations via a crafted value of the third argument (aka the
    bgd_color or clrBack argument) for an indexed image.
    CVE-2008-5557
    Heap-based buffer overflow in ext/mbstring/libmbfl/filters/mbfilter_htmlent.c in the mbstring extension in
    PHP 4.3.0 through 5.2.6 allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted string
    containing an HTML entity, which is not properly handled during Unicode conversion, related to the (1)
    mb_convert_encoding, (2) mb_check_encoding, (3) mb_convert_variables, and (4) mb_parse_str functions.
    CVE-2008-5814
    Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in PHP, possibly 5.2.7 and earlier, when display_errors is
    enabled, allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via unspecified vectors. NOTE:
    because of the lack of details, it is unclear whether this is related to CVE-2006-0208.
    CVE-2009-0754
    PHP 4.4.4, 5.1.6, and other versions, when running on Apache, allows local users to modify behavior of
    other sites hosted on the same web server by modifying the mbstring.func_overload setting within
    .htaccess, which causes this setting to be applied to other virtual hosts on the same server.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
