NVD Description

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

The crypt_des (aka DES-based crypt) function in FreeBSD before 9.0-RELEASE-p2, as used in PHP, PostgreSQL, and other products, does not process the complete cleartext password if this password contains a 0x80 character, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to obtain access via an authentication attempt with an initial substring of the intended password, as demonstrated by a Unicode password.
