CVE-2013-6712 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The scan function in ext/date/lib/parse_iso_intervals.c in PHP through 5.5.6 does not properly restrict creation of DateInterval objects, which might allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer over-read) via a crafted interval specification.. EPSS estimates a 4.58% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
