CWE-787  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.3 php7-pdo to version 7.4.6-3.32.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream php7-pdo package and not the php7-pdo package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.3 relevant fixed versions and status.

The zend_string_extend function in Zend/zend_string.h in PHP through 7.1.5 does not prevent changes to string objects that result in a negative length, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact by leveraging a script's use of .= with a long string.
