Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (4.88%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.

Description

In PHP versions 7.3.x below 7.3.16 and 7.4.x below 7.4.4, while using mb_strtolower() function with UTF-32LE encoding, certain invalid strings could cause PHP to overwrite stack-allocated buffer. This could lead to memory corruption, crashes and potentially code execution.
