According to its banner, the version of PHP 5.5.x installed on the remote host is a version prior to 5.5.1. It is, therefore, potentially affected by a buffer overflow error that exists in the file ‘ext/xml/xml.c’.
Note that this plugin does not attempt to exploit this vulnerability, but instead relies only on PHP’s self-reported version number.
