Description Josh Bressers 2005-11-07 17:48:49 UTC 
PHP exif data DoS

An error in the way php processes exif image data has been found.
This flaw will cause PHP to enter an infinite loop when
exif_read_data() against the malicious image.  The PHP process will
continue to consume computing resources until the PHP process is
killed.
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=34704

When run through httpd, the PHP process will eventually timeout and be
killed.  This is only a temporary DoS when PHP is run from httpd..


This issue also affects FC3
