Apache 2.2, 2.4
PHP 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6

It is worth pointing out that patches for vulnerabilities are fixed and back-ported in the repositories for the OS.

running the following will update to all latest patches

Code: Select all

yum update -y
This will install all patches provided by the package maintainers, but will not change a scanner that is just looking at the package version as these are backported fixes.

PHP 5.6 is end of life as of January 2019. What is the schedule for support of 7.1 (EOL 1Dec19) or higher?

Hello,
What is the schedule for support of 7.1 (EOL 1Dec19) or higher?
That's determine by operating system. I don't believe CentOS 7 will move to php 7 rather the path would be to upgrade to the next major release.

As Scott mentioned, older versions are maintained by RedHat.
