Description Chris Tandiono 2011-01-06 08:40:09 UTC

lang/php5 5.3.4 is vulnerable to a DoS attack involving floating point numbers (when compiled with the default CFLAGS).

Fix: 

Arch Linux has a "PHP 5.3.5" but AFAICT it's not been released yet. One workaround is to enable SSE instructions at compile-time.
How-To-Repeat: Compile php5 from ports without specifying SSE math instructions. The produced 387 instructions will cause PHP to infinite loop on certain floating point numbers.

php 5.3.5 is release and fixes the 5.3* branch.
php 5.2.17 is also released and fixes the php52 (5.2* branch)

and ports maintainers: I suggest upgrading this to a higher priority on 
x32 machines.
x64 boxes are not vulnerable, but x32 is.
