According to its banner, the version of PHP installed on the remote host is older than 5.2.11. Such versions may be affected by several security issues :

  • An unspecified error occurs in certificate validation inside ‘php_openssl_apply_verification_policy’.

  • An unspecified input validation vulnerability affects the color index in ‘imagecolortransparent()’.

  • An unspecified input validation vulnerability affects exif processing.

  • Calling ‘popen()’ with an invalid mode can cause a crash under Windows. (Bug #44683)

  • An integer overflow in ‘xml_utf8_decode()’ can make it easier to bypass cross-site scripting and SQL injection protection mechanisms using a specially crafted string with a long UTF-8 encoding. (Bug #49687)

  • ‘proc_open()’ can bypass ‘safe_mode_protected_env_vars’.
    (Bug #49026)
