Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 security vulnerability.
1) Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used by a Downstream Component (CVE-ID: CVE-2013-6501)
The vulnerability allows a local user to read and manipulate data.
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.
Remediation
Install update from vendor's website.
