Description Josh Bressers 2006-03-29 13:23:53 UTC 
PHP memory disclosure issue

A memory disclosure issue was found and fixed in PHP's
unescape_html_entities function.  This issue allows a malformed HTML
string to leak back arbitrary memory from the PHP process.

There is more information in the full-disclosure thread:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=114360319500050&r=1&w=2

The reporter on full-disclosure attempts to make this issue sound
considerably worse than it is.

The patch is here:
http://cvs.php.net/viewcvs.cgi/php-src/ext/standard/html.c?r1=1.63.2.23.2.1&r2=1.63.2.23.2.2


This issue also affects RHEL3
