VULHUB ™

Hardened-PHP Project Security Advisory - PHP5 comes with the new mysqli extension, which recently got a new error reporting feature using exceptions. When an exception for such an error is thrown the error message is used as format string. Depending on the situation and configuration, f.e. a malicious MySQL server or an erroneous SQL query (f.e. through SQL injection) can result in PHP reporting a (partly) user supplied error message, which can result in triggering the format string vulnerability, which can lead to remote code execution. Versions 5.1 through 5.1.1 are affected. PHP4 is not affected.
