Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
PHP versions prior to 7.0.4
Description
The issue is related to an integer overflow in the
php filter encode url function, which can cause a heap-based buffer overflow. This can lead to a denial of service or possibly have other unspecified impacts when a remote attacker sends a long string.Recommendations
For PHP versions prior to 7.0.4, update to version 7.0.4 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the input length to the
php filter encode url function to minimize the risk of exploitation.Exploitability
