Description:

Synopsis :

The remote web server uses a version of PHP that is affected by
multiple flaws.

host is older than 5.2.6. Such versions may be affected by the
following issues :

of the length of PATH_TRANSLATED in cgi_main.c.

- A safe_mode bypass in cURL.

- Incomplete handling of multibyte chars inside
escapeshellcmd().

- Issues in the bundled PCRE fixed by version 7.6.
