PHP Improper Input Validation Vulnerability - CVE-2017-8923
The zend_string_extend function in Zend/zend_string.h in PHP through 7.1.5 does not prevent changes to string objects that result in a negative length which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact by leveraging a script39s use of . with a long string.
