CVE-2007-6039

Publication date 20 November 2007

Last updated 24 July 2024


Ubuntu priority

Negligible

Why this priority?

PHP 5.2.5 and earlier allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a long string in (1) the domain parameter to the dgettext function, the message parameter to the (2) dcgettext or (3) gettext function, the msgid1 parameter to the (4) dngettext or (5) ngettext function, or (6) the classname parameter to the stream_wrapper_register function. NOTE: this might not be a vulnerability in most web server environments that support multiple threads, unless this issue can be demonstrated for code execution.

Notes

arguments to functions in question should be under control of the script author, so not security-sensitive also shouldn't affect multi-threaded environments
