CWE-119  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade php to version 5.4.32 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-Bounds. Multiple buffer overflows in the php_parserr function in ext/standard/dns.c in PHP before 5.4.32 and 5.5.x before 5.5.16 allow remote DNS servers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted DNS record, related to the dns_get_record function and the dn_expand function. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2014-4049.
