CVE-2007-1383
Description
From CVE.org
Integer overflow in the 16 bit variable reference counter in PHP 4 allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code by overflowing this counter, which causes the same variable to be destroyed twice, a related issue to CVE-2007-1286.
Statement
The PHP interpreter does not offer a reliable "sandboxed" security layer (as found in, say, a JVM) in which untrusted scripts can be run; any script run by the PHP interpreter must be trusted with the privileges of the interpreter itself. We therefore do not classify this issue as security-sensitive since no trust boundary is crossed.
