Date Reported:

20 Jan 2018

Affected Packages:

php5

Vulnerable:

Yes

Security database references:

In Mitre's CVE dictionary: CVE-2018-5712.

More information:

It was discovered that PHP5 was vulnerable to a reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) attack on the PHAR 404 error page by manipulating the URI of a request for a .phar file. This issue is only exploitable if the web server is configured to handle phar files using PHP5.

For Debian 7 Wheezy, these problems have been fixed in version 5.4.45-0+deb7u12.

We recommend that you upgrade your php5 packages.
