Description
A flaw was found in PHP-FPM, the FastCGI Process Manager. This vulnerability can allow an attacker to manipulate or remove up to 4 characters from log messages via crafted log content, potentially polluting or altering the final log. If PHP-FPM is configured to use syslog output, further log data manipulation is possible via the same vector.
Statement
This vulnerability only affects configurations with the catch_workers_output directive enabled or set to yes in the configuration file. This option is disabled by default.
Additionally, if the error_log directive is set to syslog, the logs are being sent to syslogd instead of a regular file, allowing further log data manipulation.
