FreeBSD : PHP5 -- Heap corruption in XML parser (31b145f2-d9d3-49a9-8023-11cf742205dc)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 68917

Language:

Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing a security-related update.

Description

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.

Solution

Update the affected package.
