The host is installed with PHP and is prone to race condition vulnerability. A flaw is present is in the PCNTL extension in PHP before 5.3.4, when a user-defined signal handler has been defined and many concurrent signals are being delivered to it through ext/pcntl leading to a race condition. Successful exploitation allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via a large number of concurrent signals.
