NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream php53 package and not the php53 package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

The (1) ZipArchive::addGlob and (2) ZipArchive::addPattern functions in ext/zip/php_zip.c in PHP 5.3.6 allow context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via certain flags arguments, as demonstrated by (a) GLOB_ALTDIRFUNC and (b) GLOB_APPEND.
