CVE-2014-4049
CVSS v2.0
5.1
Medium
| Vector | AV:N/AC:H/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
PHP versions prior to 5.6.0beta4
Description
The issue is related to a heap-based buffer overflow in the php parserr function, which can be exploited by remote servers using crafted DNS TXT records. This could lead to a denial of service (crash) and possibly allow the execution of arbitrary code. The dns get record function is also related to this issue.
Recommendations
For PHP versions prior to 5.6.0beta4, consider updating to a version that is not affected by this issue to prevent potential exploitation. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the dns get record function until a patch is available.
