Description Vincent Danen 2014-08-21 15:26:18 UTC 
During the testing of the patch to fix CVE-2014-4049 (bug 1108447) in PHP, other possible buffer overflows were discovered [1] that led to a segfault in dns_get_record():

- code rely on dlen (from server response) without overflow check
- code call dn_expand without sending real "end" of answer

It has been corrected upstream [2] and a reproducer to test is available [3].  This will be fixed in upstream 5.4.32 (currently unreleased).

Comment 7 Tomas Hoger 2014-09-11 08:30:48 UTC 
This does not seem to really qualify as "incomplete CVE-2014-4049 fix".  The fix under CVE-2014-4049 addressed buffer over-write (with buffer over-read happening at the same time) that could lead to heap memory corruption.  This additional fix adds additional checks against buffer over-reads, which are not limited to the processing of the TXT DNS resource records.

Adjusting CVSSv2 score and impact rating, as it should not match score and rating of the CVE-2014-4049 issue.
