Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.
1) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-8923)
CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
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.
