CVE-2004-0594
Status: ModifiedMedium (5.1)—
The memory_limit functionality in PHP 4.x up to 4.3.7, and 5.x up to 5.0.0RC3, under certain conditions such as when register_globals is enabled, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by triggering a memory_limit abort during execution of the zend_hash_init function and overwriting a HashTable destructor pointer before the initialization of key data structures is complete.
CVSS
- Version: 2.0
- Vector: AV:N/AC:H/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
- Base score: 5.1
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 55%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 99
- Score date: 10/3/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
