CVSS Meta Temp Score CVSS is a standardized scoring system to determine possibilities of attacks. The Temp Score considers temporal factors like disclosure, exploit and countermeasures. The unique Meta Score calculates the average score of different sources to provide a normalized scoring system.	Current Exploit Price (≈) Our analysts are monitoring exploit markets and are in contact with vulnerability brokers. The range indicates the observed or calculated exploit price to be seen on exploit markets. A good indicator to understand the monetary effort required for and the popularity of an attack.	CTI Interest Score Our Cyber Threat Intelligence team is monitoring different web sites, mailing lists, exploit markets and social media networks. The CTI Interest Score identifies the interest of attackers and the security community for this specific vulnerability in real-time. A high score indicates an elevated risk to be targeted for this vulnerability.

Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as problematic has been found in PHP (Programming Language Software). Affected is an unknown function. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a input validation vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-20. The product receives input or data, but it does not validate or incorrectly validates that the input has the properties that are required to process the data safely and correctly. This is going to have an impact on availability. CVE summarizes:

sapi/cgi/cgi_main.c in PHP before 5.3.13 and 5.4.x before 5.4.3, when configured as a CGI script (aka php-cgi), does not properly handle query strings that lack an = (equals sign) character, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (resource consumption) by placing command-line options in the query string, related to lack of skipping a certain php_getopt for the T case. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2012-1823.

The weakness was disclosed 05/11/2012 (Website). The advisory is shared for download at h20564.www2.hp.com. This vulnerability is traded as CVE-2012-2336 since 04/19/2012. The exploitability is told to be easy. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploitation doesn't require any form of authentication. Technical details are unknown but a public exploit is available.

The exploit is shared for download at exploit-db.com. It is declared as proof-of-concept. As 0-day the estimated underground price was around $5k-$25k. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 59738 (CentOS 5 : php (CESA-2012:1045)), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family CentOS Local Security Checks and running in the context l. The commercial vulnerability scanner Qualys is able to test this issue with plugin 12551 (PHP apache_request_headers Buffer Overflow and PHP-CGI Query String Parameter Vulnerabilities).

Upgrading to version 5.1.0 eliminates this vulnerability. Attack attempts may be identified with Snort ID 22063.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at Exploit-DB (29290), Tenable (59738) and Secunia (SA49014†). The entries VDB-5319, VDB-60731, VDB-60730 and VDB-60729 are pretty similar. VulDB is the best source for vulnerability data and more expert information about this specific topic.
