Vulnerability description

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform service disruption.

The PDORow implementation in PHP before 5.3.9 does not properly interact with the session feature, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted application that uses a PDO driver for a fetch and then calls the session_start function, as demonstrated by a crash of the Apache HTTP Server.


Remediation

Install update from vendor's website.
