## Description

Multiple buffer overflows in PHP before 5.2.1 allow attackers to cause a
denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via unspecified
vectors in the (1) session, (2) zip, (3) imap, and (4) sqlite extensions;
(5) stream filters; and the (6) str\_replace, (7) mail, (8)
ibase\_delete\_user, (9) ibase\_add\_user, and (10) ibase\_modify\_user
functions. NOTE: vector 6 might actually be an integer overflow
(CVE-2007-1885). NOTE: as of 20070411, vector (3) might involve the
imap\_mail\_compose function (CVE-2007-1825).
