CVE-2007-1885  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-94  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade php to version 4.4.5, 5.2.1 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Arbitrary Code Execution. Integer overflow in the str_replace function in PHP 4 before 4.4.5 and PHP 5 before 5.2.1 allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via a single character search string in conjunction with a long replacement string, which overflows a 32 bit length counter. NOTE: this is probably the same issue as CVE-2007-0906.6.
