CVE-2016-6294 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade Ubuntu:12.04 php5 to version 5.3.10-1ubuntu3.24 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 Ubuntu.
See How to fix? for Ubuntu:12.04 relevant fixed versions and status.
The locale_accept_from_http function in ext/intl/locale/locale_methods.c in PHP before 5.5.38, 5.6.x before 5.6.24, and 7.x before 7.0.9 does not properly restrict calls to the ICU uloc_acceptLanguageFromHTTP function, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a call with a long argument.
