Details

PHP 5.2.4 and earlier allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via (1) a long string in the outcharset parameter to the iconv function; or a long string in the charset parameter to the (2) iconvmimedecodeheaders, (3) iconvmimedecode, or (4) iconv_strlen function. NOTE: this might not be a vulnerability in most web server environments that support multiple threads, unless these issues can be demonstrated for code execution.
