Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.
1) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2007-1886)
CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to read and manipulate data.
Integer overflow in the str_replace function in PHP 4.4.5 and PHP 5.2.1 allows context-dependent attackers to have an unknown impact via a single character search string in conjunction with a single character replacement string, which causes an "off by one overflow."
