Candidate: CVE-2009-3294 PublicDate: 2009-09-22 10:30:00 UTC References: https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-3294 http://www.php.net/ChangeLog-5.php#5.2.11 http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2009/09/20/1 Description: The popen API function in TSRM/tsrm_win32.c in PHP before 5.2.11 and 5.3.x before 5.3.1, when running on certain Windows operating systems, allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted (1) "e" or (2) "er" string in the second argument (aka mode), possibly related to the _fdopen function in the Microsoft C runtime library. NOTE: this might not cross privilege boundaries except in rare cases in which the mode argument is accessible to an attacker outside of an application that uses the popen function.
