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 msg_receive function in PHP 4 before 4.4.5 and PHP 5 before 5.2.1, on FreeBSD and possibly other platforms, allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via certain maxsize values, as demonstrated by 0xffffffff.
