Descriptions

The wordwrap function in PHP 4 before 4.4.8, and PHP 5 before 5.2.4, does not properly use the breakcharlen variable, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (divide-by-zero error and application crash, or infinite loop) via certain arguments, as demonstrated by a 'chr(0), 0, ""' argument set.

La función wordwrap del PHP 4 anterior al 4.4.8 y el PHP 5 anterior al 5.2.4, no utiliza correctamente la variable breakcharlen, lo que permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (error de división por cero y caída de la aplicación o bucle infinito) a través de ciertos argumentos, como lo demostrado con el establecimiento del argumento 'chr(0), 0, ""'.
