Exploitation Summary
EIP tracks 1 public exploit for CVE-2007-1583. PoCs published by Stefan Esser.
AI-analyzed exploit summary This exploit leverages a memory-limit exception in PHP's mb_parse_str() to activate register_globals, potentially enabling further exploitation of latent vulnerabilities. It works by exhausting memory and triggering the exception.
Description
The mb_parse_str function in PHP 4.0.0 through 4.4.6 and 5.0.0 through 5.2.1 sets the internal register_globals flag and does not disable it in certain cases when a script terminates, which allows remote attackers to invoke available PHP scripts with register_globals functionality that is not detectable by these scripts, as demonstrated by forcing a memory_limit violation.
