ext/intl/msgformat/msgformat_format.c in PHP before 5.6.26 and 7.x before 7.0.11 does not properly restrict the locale length provided to the Locale class in the ICU library, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash)…
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (6.67%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
