CVE-2012-0788  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-20  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:8 php5 to version 5.3.9-1 or higher.

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.

The PDORow implementation in PHP before 5.3.9 does not properly interact with the session feature, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted application that uses a PDO driver for a fetch and then calls the session_start function, as demonstrated by a crash of the Apache HTTP Server.
