Reflected XSS in .phar 404 page

An issue was discovered in PHP; there is Reflected XSS on the PHAR 404 error page via the URI of a request for a .phar file. (CVE-2018-5712)

Denial of Service (DoS) via infinite loop in libgd gdImageCreateFromGifCtx function in ext/gd/libgd/gd_gif_in.c

The gd_gif_in.c file in the GD Graphics Library (aka libgd), as used in PHP has an integer signedness error that leads to an infinite loop via a crafted GIF file, as demonstrated by a call to the imagecreatefromgif or imagecreatefromstring PHP function. This is related to GetCode_ and gdImageCreateFromGifCtx. (CVE-2018-5711)

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version CORE 5.04 / MAIN 5.04, has php packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - In PHP through 5.6.33, 7.0.x before 7.0.28, 7.1.x through 7.1.14, and 7.2.x through 7.2.2, there is a     stack-based buffer under-read while parsing an HTTP response in the php_stream_url_wrap_http_ex function     in ext/standard/http_fopen_wrapper.c. This subsequently results in copying a large string. (CVE-2018-7584)

  - An issue was discovered in ext/phar/phar_object.c in PHP before 5.6.36, 7.0.x before 7.0.30, 7.1.x before     7.1.17, and 7.2.x before 7.2.5. There is Reflected XSS on the PHAR 403 and 404 error pages via request     data of a request for a .phar file. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for     CVE-2018-5712. (CVE-2018-10547)

    (CVE-2018-5712)

  - An issue was discovered in PHP before 5.6.40, 7.x before 7.1.26, 7.2.x before 7.2.14, and 7.3.x before     7.3.1. xmlrpc_decode() can allow a hostile XMLRPC server to cause PHP to read memory outside of allocated     areas in base64_decode_xmlrpc in ext/xmlrpc/libxmlrpc/base64.c. (CVE-2019-9024)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

According to its banner, the version of PHP running on the remote web server is 7.1.x prior to 7.1.13. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - A denial of service (DoS) vulnerability exists in the     imagecreatefromgif and imagecreatefromstring functions     of the gd_gif_in.c script within GD Graphics Library     (libgd) due to an integer signedness error. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this issue,     via a crafted GIF file, to cause the applicaiton to stop     responding. (CVE-2018-5711)

  - A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists due to     improper validation of .phar file before returning it to     users. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit     this, by convincing a user to click a specially crafted     URL, to execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser     session. (CVE-2018-5712)

  - A denial of service (DoS) vulnerability exists in the     ext/standard/http_fopen_wrapper.c script due to     http_header_value possibly being a NULL value in an atoi     call. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit     this issue, via a specifically crafted HTTP response, to     cause the application to stop responding. (CVE-2018-14884)
