HTTP: PHP ZIP URL Wrapper Stack Overflow

This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in the PHP. A successful attack can lead to a buffer overflow and arbitrary remote code execution within the context of the affected application.

Extended Description

PHP is prone to a remote stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to properly bounds-check user-supplied input before copying it to an insufficiently sized memory buffer. Exploiting this issue may allow attackers to execute arbitrary machine code in the context of the affected application. Failed exploit attempts will likely result in a denial-of-service condition. This issue affects PHP 5.2.0 and PHP with PECL ZIP <= 1.8.3.
