CVE-2007-1824
Buffer overflow in the php_stream_filter_create function in PHP 5 before 5.2.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a php://filter/ URL that has a name ending in the '.' character.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.62%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
