CVE-2013-6501: PHP

Medium severity, CVSS 4.6. EPSS: 0.6% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The default soap.wsdl_cache_dir setting in (1) php.ini-production and (2) php.ini-development in PHP through 5.6.7 specifies the /tmp directory, which makes it easier for local users to conduct WSDL injection attacks by creating a file under /tmp with a predictable filename that is used by the get_sdl function in ext/soap/php_sdl.c.

Affected products

  • PHP PHP: up to and including 5.6.7
  • Suse Linux Enterprise Server: version 11.0 only
