  - An issue was discovered in PHP before 5.6.37, 7.0.x before 7.0.31, 7.1.x before 7.1.20, and 7.2.x before
    7.2.8. An Integer Overflow leads to a heap-based buffer over-read in exif_thumbnail_extract of exif.c.
    (CVE-2018-14883)

  - University of Washington IMAP Toolkit 2007f on UNIX, as used in imap_open() in PHP and other products,
    launches an rsh command (by means of the imap_rimap function in c-client/imap4r1.c and the tcp_aopen
    function in osdep/unix/tcp_unix.c) without preventing argument injection, which might allow remote
    attackers to execute arbitrary OS commands if the IMAP server name is untrusted input (e.g., entered by a
    user of a web application) and if rsh has been replaced by a program with different argument semantics.
    For example, if rsh is a link to ssh (as seen on Debian and Ubuntu systems), then the attack can use an
    IMAP server name containing a -oProxyCommand argument. (CVE-2018-19518)

  - In PHP before 5.6.39, 7.x before 7.0.33, 7.1.x before 7.1.25, and 7.2.x before 7.2.13, a buffer over-read
    in PHAR reading functions may allow an attacker to read allocated or unallocated memory past the actual
    data when trying to parse a .phar file. This is related to phar_parse_pharfile in ext/phar/phar.c.
    (CVE-2018-20783)

  - Oniguruma through 6.9.3, as used in PHP 7.3.x and other products, has a heap-based buffer over-read in
    str_lower_case_match in regexec.c. (CVE-2019-19246)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
