CVE-2014-3597

PHP < 5.4.32 and 5.5.x < 5.5.16 - Remote Code Execution via Crafted DNS Record

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Description

Multiple buffer overflows in the php_parserr function in ext/standard/dns.c in PHP before 5.4.32 and 5.5.x before 5.5.16 allow remote DNS servers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted DNS record, related to the dns_get_record function and the dn_expand function. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2014-4049.
