Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

Buffer overflows in PHP 4.1.0, 4.1.1, and 4.0.6 and earlier in the php_mime_split and php3_mime_split functions allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a multipart/form-data HTTP POST request when file_uploads is enabled.

Risk Assessment

Organizations may be vulnerable to remote code execution, potentially leading to system compromise or data leakage. The risk is particularly heightened if the server allows file uploads.

Recommendation

It is recommended to upgrade PHP to the latest version to mitigate this vulnerability. Additionally, consider disabling the file_uploads option if it is not necessary.
