Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
PHP versions prior to 5.3.6
Description
The issue is related to errors in resource management in the OpenSSL extension of the PHP programming language. It may allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service. The problem is associated with memory leaks in the OpenSSL extension, which can be triggered by sending plaintext data to the
openssl encrypt function or ciphertext data to the openssl decrypt function.Recommendations
For PHP versions prior to 5.3.6, update to version 5.3.6 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the
openssl encrypt and openssl decrypt functions to minimize the risk of exploitation.Exploit
