NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream php5 package and not the php5 package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

Multiple integer overflows in the chunk_split function in PHP 5 before 5.2.3 and PHP 4 before 4.4.8 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or execute arbitrary code via the (1) chunks, (2) srclen, and (3) chunklen arguments.
