 openvas🔗 plugins.openvas.org👁 51 Views

The remote host is missing an update for the 'php56, php55' package(s) announced via the ALAS-2016-685 advisory. A stack overflow vulnerability may occur when decompressing tar archives due to phar_tar_writeheaders() potentially copying non-terminated linknames from entries parsed by phar_parse_tarfile(). Please install the updated package(s)
