NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream php-pecl-http package and not the php-pecl-http package as distributed by Ubuntu.

Buffer overflow in the HTTP URL parsing functions in pecl_http before 3.0.1 might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via non-printable characters in a URL.
