  • 2.1 (Low) CVSS_V4 - CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:H/AT:P/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:L/AU:Y/U:Amber CVSS Calculator
Summary
Null pointer dereference in php_mb_check_encoding() via mb_ereg_search_init()
Details

In PHP versions 8.2.* before 8.2.31, 8.3.* before 8.3.31, 8.4.* before 8.4.21, and 8.5.* before 8.5.6, a mismatch between encoding lists in Oniguruma and mbfl leads to  a NULL pointer dereference, resulting in a segmentation fault and denial of service. The vulnerability is exploitable when user-controlled input can influence the encoding passed to mb_regex_encoding().
