CVE-2009-5016

Publication date 12 November 2010

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Medium

Why this priority?

Integer overflow in the xml_utf8_decode function in ext/xml/xml.c in PHP before 5.2.11 makes it easier for remote attackers to bypass cross-site scripting (XSS) and SQL injection protection mechanisms via a crafted string that uses overlong UTF-8 encoding, a different vulnerability than CVE-2010-3870.
