Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 security vulnerability.


1) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-8923)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient input validation in zend_string_extend() function in Zend/zend_string.h when leveraging a script's use of ".=" with a long. The application does not prevent changes to string objects that can result in a negative length. A remote attacker can pass an overly long string to script, which uses ".=" operand on the supplied data and trigger application crash.
