Descriptions

Integer overflow in the ftp_genlist function in ext/ftp/ftp.c in PHP before 5.4.41, 5.5.x before 5.5.25, and 5.6.x before 5.6.9 allows remote FTP servers to execute arbitrary code via a long reply to a LIST command, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow.

Desbordamiento de enteros en la función ftp_genlist en ext/ftp/ftp.c en PHP anterior a 5.4.41, 5.5.x anterior a 5.5.25, y 5.6.x anterior a 5.6.9 permite a servidores FTP remotos ejecutar código arbitrario a través de una contestación larga a un comando LIST, que conduce a un desbordamiento de buffer basado en memoria dinámica.

An integer overflow flaw leading to a heap-based buffer overflow was found in the way PHP's FTP extension parsed file listing FTP server responses. A malicious FTP server could use this flaw to cause a PHP application to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code.

PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language commonly used with the Apache HTTP Server. A flaw was found in the way PHP parsed multipart HTTP POST requests. A specially crafted request could cause PHP to use an excessive amount of CPU time. An uninitialized pointer use flaw was found in PHP's Exif extension. A specially crafted JPEG or TIFF file could cause a PHP application using the exif_read_data() function to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running that PHP application.
