Description

PHP contains a flaw that may allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code. The issue is due to insufficient validation of parameters passed to the pack() function which may result in a heap overflow. It is possible that the flaw may allow a remote attacker to bypass safe_mode restrictions and execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the Web server resulting in a loss of integrity.
