Details

VuXML ID 31b145f2-d9d3-49a9-8023-11cf742205dc
Discovery 2013-07-10
Entry 2013-07-16

The PHP development team reports:

ext/xml/xml.c in PHP before 5.3.27 does not properly consider parsing depth, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted document that is processed by the xml_parse_into_struct function.
