Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 21/100)

  • Public proof-of-concept code exists (Exploit-DB); there is no record of exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 13.3% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 96.4% of all records.
  • Fixed version: php5 (Debian:5.0) 5.2.6.dfsg.1-1+lenny10; php5 (Debian:6.0) 5.3.3-7+squeeze1; php5 (openSUSE:Tumbleweed) 5.6.28-1.1.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to php5 (Debian:5.0) 5.2.6.dfsg.1-1+lenny10; php5 (Debian:6.0) 5.3.3-7+squeeze1; php5 (openSUSE:Tumbleweed) 5.6.28-1.1 or later.
