PHP 5.3 < 5.3.1 Multiple Vulnerabilities

Description

According to its banner, the version of PHP 5.3 installed on the remote host is older than 5.3.1. Such versions may be affected by several security issues : - Sanity checks are missing in exif processing. - It is possible to bypass the 'safe_mode' configuration setting using 'tempnam()'. - It is possible to bypass the 'open_basedir' configuration setting using 'posix_mkfifo()'. - The 'safe_mode_include_dir' configuration setting may be ignored. (Bug #50063) - Calling 'popen()' with an invalid mode can cause a crash under Windows. (Bug #44683) - Provided file uploading is enabled (it is by default), an attacker can upload files using a POST request with 'multipart/form-data' content even if the target script doesn't actually support file uploads per se. By supplying a large number (15,000+) of files, an attacker could cause the web server to stop responding while it processes the file list. - 'proc_open()' can bypass 'safe_mode_protected_env_vars'. (Bug #49026) - An unspecified vulnerability affects the LCG entropy.
