Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 6 vulnerabilities.
1) Improper input validation
EUVDB-ID: #VU10948
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 4.8 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N/E:P/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2016-10712
CWE-ID:
CWE-20 - Improper input validation
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information on the target system.
The weakness exists in the stream_get_meta_data function due to improper input validation. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted file and control metadata.
Update the affected packages.

Q & A
Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?
Yes. This vulnerability can be exploited by a remote non-authenticated attacker via the Internet.
Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?
No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability. However, proof of concept for this vulnerability is available.
2) Use-after-free error
EUVDB-ID: #VU3611
Risk: High
CVSSv3.1: 9 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:P/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2016-5771
CWE-ID:
CWE-416 - Use After Free
Exploit availability: Yes
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary PHP code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to use-after-free in GC algorithm and unserialize. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted zval object and exploit the PHP process by taking over the EIP/RIP.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability results in complete control over the vulnerable web application and execute arbitrary PHP code on the target system. MitigationUpdate the affected packages.

CVE-ID: CVE-2018-5711
CWE-ID:
CWE-835 - Loop with Unreachable Exit Condition ('Infinite Loop')
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe disclosed vulnerability allows a local unauthenticated attacker to cause DoS condition.
The vulnerability exists in PHP GD Graphics Library due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data. A local attacker can submit a specially crafted GIF, trigger an infinite loop and cause the service to crash.
MitigationUpdate the affected packages.

Q & A
Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?
No. This vulnerability can be exploited locally. The attacker should have authentication credentials and successfully authenticate on the system.
Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?
No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.
5) Reflected cross-site scripting
EUVDB-ID: #VU10389
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 5.3 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2018-5712
CWE-ID:
CWE-79 - Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
The vulnerability exists on the PHAR 404 error page due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data. A remote attacker can trick the victim to follow a specially crafted link and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in user's browser in context of vulnerable website.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to steal potentially sensitive information, change appearance of the web page, perform phishing and drive-by-download attacks.
Update the affected packages.
