According to its banner, the version of PHP 5.5.x installed on the remote host is a version prior to 5.5.3. It is, therefore, potentially affected by the following vulnerabilities :
An error exists related to the ‘Sessions’ subsystem that can allow an attacker to hijack the session of another user. (CVE-2011-4718 / Bug #60491)
An error exists related to certificate validation, the ‘subjectAltName’ field and certificates containing NULL bytes. This error can allow spoofing attacks.
(CVE-2013-4248)
Note that this plugin does not attempt to exploit these vulnerabilities, but instead relies only on PHP’s self-reported version number.
