server is 7.0.x prior to 7.0.16. It is, therefore, affected by the
following vulnerabilities :

  - A denial of service vulnerability exists in mysqli.c due
    to a memory leak. An unauthenticated, remote attacker
    can exploit this to crash the application.
    (BID 96300 / PHP Bug #73949)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the
    PHP-Win client due to a DEP violation. An
    unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to
    cause a denial of service condition or the execution of
    arbitrary code. (BID 96303 / PHP Bug #73876)");
