According to its self-reported version number, the version of PHP running on the remote web server is 7.2.x or 7.3.x prior to 7.3.21. It is, therefore affected by a memory leak vulnerability in the LDAP component. An unauthenticated, remote attacker could exploit this issue to cause a denial-of-service condition.
