Description
The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform SSRF attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of the null byte in the fsockopen() function implementation when handling hostnames. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted hostname to the application and force it to initiate requests to arbitrary systems.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker gain access to sensitive data, located in the local network or send malicious requests to other servers from the vulnerable system.
Mitigation
Install updates from vendor's website.
