"The CentOS Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the
TuxCare CENTOS6:CLSA-2026:1779120876 advisory.

  - In PHP versions 8.2.* before 8.2.31, 8.3.* before 8.3.31, 8.4.* before 8.4.21, and 8.5.* before 8.5.6, the
    SOAP extension's object deduplication mechanism stores pointers to PHP objects in a global map without
    incrementing their reference counts. When an apache:Map node contains duplicate keys, processing the
    second entry overwrites the first in the temporary result map, freeing the original PHP object while its
    stale pointer remains in the map. A subsequent href reference to the freed node can copy the dangling
    pointer into the result. As PHP string allocations can reclaim the freed memory region, an attacker with
    control over the SOAP request body can exploit this use-after-free to achieve remote code execution.
    (CVE-2026-6722)

  - In PHP versions 8.2.* before 8.2.31, 8.3.* before 8.3.31, 8.4.* before 8.4.21, and 8.5.* before 8.5.6,
    when SoapServer is configured with SOAP_PERSISTENCE_SESSION, the handler object is persisted across
    requests via session storage. However, in the case SOAP requests results in an error, the persistance is
    handled incorrectly, resulting in freeing the object while keeping a pointer to it, which may lead to use-
    after-free. This may lead to memory corruption, information disclosure, or process crashes, with
    confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact on the vulnerable system. (CVE-2026-7261)

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