CWE-79  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Centos:6 php-intl to version 0:5.3.2-6.el6_0.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream php-intl package and not the php-intl package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

Integer overflow in the xml_utf8_decode function in ext/xml/xml.c in PHP before 5.2.11 makes it easier for remote attackers to bypass cross-site scripting (XSS) and SQL injection protection mechanisms via a crafted string that uses overlong UTF-8 encoding, a different vulnerability than CVE-2010-3870.
