UnknownEPSS 4.70%

Last modified

CVE-2007-4782 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. PHP before 5.2.3 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via (1) a long string in the pattern parameter to the glob function; or (2) a long string in the string parameter to the fnmatch function, accompanied by a pattern parameter value with undefined characteristics, as demonstrated by a "*[1]e" value. NOTE: this might not be a vulnerability in most web server environments that support multiple threads, unless these issues can be demonstrated for code execution.. EPSS estimates a 4.70% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
