HighCVSS 7.5 · v2.0—Proof of concept Fix available

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 35/100)

  • Public proof-of-concept code exists (Exploit-DB); there is no record of exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 17.8% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 97.2% of all records.
  • No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: php5 (Debian:6.0) 5.3.3-7+squeeze8; php5 (openSUSE:Tumbleweed) 5.6.28-1.1; php7 (openSUSE:Tumbleweed) 7.0.14-1.4.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to php5 (Debian:6.0) 5.3.3-7+squeeze8; php5 (openSUSE:Tumbleweed) 5.6.28-1.1; php7 (openSUSE:Tumbleweed) 7.0.14-1.4 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

Integer overflow in ext/shmop/shmop.c in PHP before 5.3.6 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly read sensitive memory via a large third argument to the shmop_read function.
