| description | The remote host is running a version of PHP that is older than 4.3.2. There is a flaw in this version that could allow an attacker who has the ability to inject an arbitrary argument to the function socket_iovec_alloc() to crash the remote service and possibly to execute arbitrary code. For this attack to work, PHP has to be compiled with the option --enable-sockets (which is disabled by default), and an attacker needs to be able to pass arbitrary values to socket_iovec_alloc(). Other functions are vulnerable to such flaws : openlog(), socket_recv(), socket_recvfrom() and emalloc() |
