6.8
MEDIUM · CVSS 2.0 · EPSS 10.7% (pctl 96)
Patch early
A public exploit exists.
Description
The glob function in PHP 5.2.3 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via an invalid value of the flags parameter, probably related to memory corruption or an invalid read on win32 platforms, and possibly related to lack of initialization for a glob structure.
