According to its banner, the version of PHP 5.x installed on the remote host is 5.x prior to 5.3.11 or 5.4.x prior to 5.4.1 and thus, is potentially affected by a security bypass vulnerability.
An error exists related to the function ‘PHP_RSHUTDOWN_FUNCTION’ in the libxml extension and the ‘stream_close’ method that could allow a remote attacker to bypass ‘open_basedir’ protections and obtain sensitive information.
Note that this plugin has not attempted to exploit this issue, but has instead relied only on PHP’s self-reported version number.
