CVE-2021-21708
Estado: ModificadaCrítica (9.8)—
En PHP versiones 7.4.x anteriores a 7.4.28, versiones 8.0.x anteriores a 8.0.16 y versiones 8.1.x anteriores a 8.1.3, cuando son usados funciones de filtrado con el filtro FILTER_VALIDATE_FLOAT y los límites mínimo/máximo, si el filtro falla, se presenta la posibilidad de que sea activado el uso de la memoria asignada después de liberarla, lo que puede resultar en un bloqueo, y potencialmente la sobreescritura de otros trozos de memoria y RCE. Este problema afecta a: el código que usa FILTER_VALIDATE_FLOAT con límites mín/máx.
CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
