CVE-2012-0788 EXPLOIT
5.0
MEDIUM · CVSS 2.0 · EPSS 9% (pctl 95)
Patch early
A public exploit exists.
Description
The PDORow implementation in PHP before 5.3.9 does not properly interact with the session feature, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted application that uses a PDO driver for a fetch and then calls the session_start function, as demonstrated by a crash of the Apache HTTP Server.
