Medium
Reference: CVE-2007-4782
Title: PHP Improper Control of Generation of Code (Code Injection) Vulnerability
Overview:

PHP before 5.2.3 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via (1) a long string in the pattern parameter to the glob function or (2) a long string in the string parameter to the fnmatch function accompanied by a pattern parameter value with undefined characteristics as demonstrated by a quot1equot value.
