"The remote web server uses a version of PHP that is potentially
affected by a security bypass vulnerability.");

"According to its banner, the version of PHP 5.x installed on the
remote host is 5.x prior to 5.3.11 or 5.4.x prior to 5.4.1 and thus,
is potentially affected by a security bypass vulnerability.

An error exists related to the function 'PHP_RSHUTDOWN_FUNCTION' in
the libxml extension and the 'stream_close' method that could allow a
remote attacker to bypass 'open_basedir' protections and obtain
sensitive information.

Note that this plugin has not attempted to exploit this issue, but has
instead relied only on PHP's self-reported version number.");
