Title: PHP Multiple Buffer Overflow Vulnerabilities
Severity: CRITICAL
Description:
PHP is a general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for web development and can be embedded into HTML.
PHP is prone to multiple buffer-overflow vulnerabilities because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data. Specifically, the overflows occur in the 'imageloadfont()' function of the 'ext/gd' graphics library and in the 'memnstr()' function, which is exposed to the user via the 'explode' function.
Successful exploits may allow attackers to execute arbitrary code in the context of applications using the vulnerable PHP functions. This may result in a compromise of the underlying system. Failed attempts may lead to a denial-of-service condition.
Versions prior to PHP 4.4.9 and PHP 5.2.8 are vulnerable.
