What it is about

PHP ist eine Programmiersprache, die zur Implementierung von Web-Applikationen genutzt wird. Ein entfernter, anonymer Angreifer kann mehrere Schwachstellen in PHP ausnutzen, um Speicherinhalte offenzulegen, einen Denial-of-Service-Zustand auszulösen oder beliebigen Code auszuführen.

Under what conditions?

Over the network and without logging in. This is the most dangerous combination: attackers can scan reachable devices automatically.
