Medium
Reference: CVE-2007-4783
Title: PHP Improper Input Validation Vulnerability
Overview:

The iconv_substr function in PHP 5.2.4 and earlier allows context-dependent attackers to cause (1) a denial of service (application crash) via a long string in the charset parameter probably also requiring a long string in the str parameter or (2) a denial of service (temporary application hang) via a long string in the str parameter. 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.
