I'm asking because it is possible to take down vulnerable PHP apps by this as easily as finding a request variable that is actually accessed. Requesting viewtopic.php?f=2.2250738585072011e-308 for phpBB or index.php?q=2.2250738585072011e-308 for Drupal is enough to freeze the PHP installation if it is affected. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-01-05 16:27:52] jannhorn at googlemail dot com @Tyrael: Seems like it was already fixed for 5.2. http://svn.php.net/viewvc/php/php-src/branches/PHP_5_2/Zend/zend_strtod.c? view=log&pathrev=307095 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-01-05 16:11:19] tyra3l at gmail dot com btw. 5.2 support officially ended. are there any chances that this bug will be fixed in 5.2, or this will be the first obstacle which will force the people out there to upgrade to 5.3?
