hey guys,
i'm just going through the latest batch of CVE's and it doesn't look like
there's a fix for CVE-2007-4840 yet:
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-4840
Description
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 out_charset
parameter to the iconv function; or a long string in the charset parameter to
the (2) iconv_mime_decode_headers, (3) iconv_mime_decode, 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.
