According to its banner, the version of PHP installed on the remote host is affected by a flaw that allows an attacker to gain unauthorized privileges. When used with sendmail and when accepting remote input for the additional_parameters argument to the mb_send_mail function, it is possible for context-dependent attackers to read and create arbitrary files.
