Description Marian Rehak 2020-05-20 06:35:17 UTC
There are 2 integers wraparound flaws in php-src/main/rfc1867.c that allow a malicious user to crash PHP during a multipart/form-data file upload. A large multipart/form-data variable, or filename, may cause an integer overflow that leads to a subsequent crash.
Temporary files are not cleaned up, and could ultimately fill up the file system containing PHP temporary data.

Comment 1 Marian Rehak 2020-05-20 06:35:36 UTC
Created php tracking bugs for this issue:

Affects: fedora-all [bug 1837843]

Comment 4 Joe Orton 2020-05-20 14:56:50 UTC
Note that this issue requires a pathological configuration to trigger; post_max_size must be set to 2GB or higher.  Such a configuration allows an effective Denial of Service attack against any server and should never be used in production.

Comment 5 Cedric Buissart 2020-05-21 13:03:18 UTC
Statement:

The severity of this issue is considered Moderate because it requires an unlikely large `post_max_size` to be configured.

Comment 6 Cedric Buissart 2020-05-21 13:03:21 UTC
Mitigation:

Ensure that `post_max_size` is set to a value less than 2GB, or remains default.
