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 โ€˜safe_modeโ€™ configuration setting using โ€˜tempnam()โ€™.

  • It is possible to bypass the โ€˜open_basedirโ€™ configuration setting using โ€˜posix_mkfifo()โ€™.

  • The โ€˜safe_mode_include_dirโ€™ configuration setting may be ignored. (Bug #50063)

  • Calling โ€˜popen()โ€™ 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 โ€˜multipart/form-dataโ€™ content even if the target script doesnโ€™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.

  • โ€˜proc_open()โ€™ can bypass โ€˜safe_mode_protected_env_varsโ€™.
    (Bug #49026)

  • An unspecified vulnerability affects the LCG entropy.
