Description

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, the metaphone() function in ext/standard/metaphone.c uses a signed int variable to track the current position within the input string. If a string longer than 2,147,483,647 bytes is passed, a signed integer overflow occurs, resulting in undefined behavior. This can lead to an out-of-bounds read, causing a segmentation fault or access to unrelated memory, and may affect the availability of the PHP process.

Affected configurations

• php php (>= 8.2.0 < 8.2.31) • php php (>= 8.3.0 < 8.3.31) • php php (>= 8.4.0 < 8.4.21) • php php (>= 8.5.0 < 8.5.6)
