Description Lubomir Kundrak 2008-03-27 22:49:30 UTC

Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures assigned an identifier CVE-2008-1384 to the following vulnerability:

Integer overflow in PHP 5.2.5 and earlier allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly have unspecified other impact via a printf format parameter with a large width specifier, related to the php_sprintf_appendstring function in formatted_print.c and probably other functions for formatted strings (aka *printf functions).

Comment 1 Lubomir Kundrak 2008-03-27 23:02:00 UTC

Red Hat does not consider this a security vulnerability. This can not be
exploited into arbitrary code execution. Moreover, format strings are not likely
to be under attacker's control.
