Descriptions

In PHP versions 8.1.* before 8.1.31, 8.2.* before 8.2.26, 8.3.* before 8.3.14, uncontrolled long string inputs to ldap_escape() function on 32-bit systems can cause an integer overflow, resulting in an out-of-bounds write.

Security Center leverages third-party software to help provide underlying functionality. Several of the third-party components (OpenSSL, PHP) were found to contain vulnerabilities, and updated versions have been made available by the providers.Out of caution and in line with best practice, Tenable has opted to upgrade these components to address the potential impact of the issues. Security Center Patch SC-202412.1 updates OpenSSL to version 3.0.15 and PHP to version 8.2.26 to address the identified vulnerabilities.
Tenable has released Security Center Patch SC-202412.1 to address these issues. The installation files can be obtained from the Tenable Downloads Portal: https://www.tenable.com/downloads/security-center

It was discovered that PHP incorrectly handled certain inputs when processed with convert.quoted-printable decode filters. An attacker could possibly use this issue to expose sensitive information or cause a crash. It was discovered that PHP incorrectly handled certain HTTP requests. An attacker could possibly use this issue to performing arbitrary HTTP requests originating from the server, thus potentially gaining access to resources not normally available to the external user.
