According to its banner, the version of PHP installed on the remote host is older than 4.4.9. Such versions may be affected by several security issues :

  • There are unspecified issues in the bundled PCRE library fixed by version 7.7.

  • A buffer overflow in the ‘imageloadfont()’ function in ‘ext/gd/gd.c’ can be triggered when a specially crafted font is given. (CVE-2008-3658)

  • A buffer overflow exists in the internal ‘memnstr()’ function, which is exposed to userspace as ‘explode()’.
    (CVE-2008-3659)

  • A denial of service vulnerability exists when a filename contains 2 dots. (CVE-2008-3660)

  • An ‘open_basedir’ handling issue in the curl extension.

  • ‘mbstring.func_overload’ set in ‘.htaccess’ becomes global. (CVE-2009-0754)

Note that the release announcement states this will be the last release for the PHP 4.4 series.
