Amazon Linux AMI : php (ALAS-2012-77)

high Nessus Plugin ID 69684

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Amazon Linux AMI host is missing a security update.

Description

A flaw was found in the way the php-cgi executable processed command line arguments when running in CGI mode. A remote attacker could send a specially crafted request to a PHP script that would result in the query string being parsed by php-cgi as command line options and arguments. This could lead to the disclosure of the script's source code or arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the PHP interpreter. (CVE-2012-1823)

Solution

Run 'yum update php' to update your system.
