The vulnerability exists on the PHAR 404 error page due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data. A remote attacker can trick the victim to follow a specially crafted link and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in user's browser in context of vulnerable website.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to steal potentially sensitive information, change appearance of the web page, perform phishing and drive-by-download attacks.
2) Memory corruption (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-10549)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.The weakness exists in exif_read_data() function due to an out-of-bounds read while processing crafted JPEG data. A remote attacker can supply a specially image file, trigger heap-based buffer overflow in exif_iif_add_value and cause the service to crash.
3) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-10546)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.The weakness exists due to infinite loop. A remote attacker can use a stream filter with convert.iconv and not enough input bytes, trigger an infinite loop, one CPU Core at 100% and cause the service to crash.
4) Man-in-the-middle attack (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-10548)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.The weakness exists in the ext/ldap/ldap.c source code file due to improper handling of return values from the ldap_get_dn function. A remote attacker can use man-in-the middle techniques to trigger ldap_get_dn() to return a NULL pointer and cause ldap_get_entries() because add_assoc_string() to crash.
