NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream php5 package and not the php5 package as distributed by Ubuntu.

Integer overflow in the xml_utf8_encode function in ext/xml/xml.c in PHP before 7.0.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via a long argument to the utf8_encode function, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow.
