PHP-FPM Path Info Buffer Underflow - Remote Code Execution

id: CVE-2019-11043

info:
  name: PHP-FPM Path Info Buffer Underflow - Remote Code Execution
  author: Securin
  severity: critical
  description: |
    In PHP-FPM before 7.1.33, 7.2.x before 7.2.24, and 7.3.x before 7.3.11, when deployed in certain Nginx configurations with the fastcgi_split_path_info directive, a crafted request with an empty PATH_INFO can trigger a buffer underflow in the php-fpm code. This may allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to execute arbitrary code through specially crafted URLs by manipulating the PATH_INFO, leading to potential remote code execution. This template checks for the presence of the vulnerable misconfiguration without performing exploitation.
  impact: |
    Attackers can execute arbitrary code remotely, potentially leading to full server compromise.
  remediation: |
    Upgrade PHP to 7.1.33, 7.2.24, 7.3.11 or later. As mitigation, remove the fastcgi_split_path_info directive or ensure it cannot match an empty PATH_INFO.
