Exploitation Summary

EIP tracks 1 public exploit for CVE-2007-0908. PoCs published by Stefan Esser.

AI-analyzed exploit summary This exploit leverages a WDDX session deserialization vulnerability in PHP to leak stack information. It constructs a malformed WDDX packet to trigger the leak and dumps the stack contents.

Description

The WDDX deserializer in the wddx extension in PHP 5 before 5.2.1 and PHP 4 before 4.4.5 does not properly initialize the key_length variable for a numerical key, which allows context-dependent attackers to read stack memory via a wddxPacket element that contains a variable with a string name before a numerical variable.
