Description

A code injection flaw was found in Xdebug. When a user enables remote debugging, Xdebug does not require authentication and will accept input from any user who can access the debug port. Enabling remote debugging is not recommended for normal use, but if exploited, this flaw would allow a remote attacker to execute code in the context of the Xdebug process.

Statement

All Red Hat offerings use fixed versions of the Xdebug package (used for remote debugging) and are therefore not affected. Exploitation would require xdebug to be installed, enabled, and exposed to attackers which is a unlikely configuration in production environments. No Red Hat offerings enable it by default, reducing the severity to Moderate.
