Description

The wordwrap function in PHP 4 before 4.4.8, and PHP 5 before 5.2.4, does not properly use the breakcharlen variable, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (divide-by-zero error and application crash, or infinite loop) via certain arguments, as demonstrated by a 'chr(0), 0, ""' argument set.

Affected products and versions

  • PHP — From 4.0.0 (including) to 4.4.8 (excluding)
  • PHP — From 5.0.0 (including) to 5.2.4 (excluding)
