Synopsis
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in PHP, the worst of which could lead to remote execution of arbitrary code.
Background
PHP is a widely-used general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for Web development and can be embedded into HTML.
Affected Packages
------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 dev-lang/php < 5.5.16 >= 5.5.16 *>= 5.4.32 *>= 5.3.29
Impact
===== A context-dependent attacker can cause arbitrary code execution, create a Denial of Service condition, read or write arbitrary files, impersonate other servers, hijack a web session, or have other unspecified impact. Additionally, a local attacker could gain escalated privileges.
Workaround
There is no known workaround at this time.
