CVE-2008-5498

Publication date 26 December 2008

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Negligible

Why this priority?

Array index error in the imageRotate function in PHP 5.2.8 and earlier allows context-dependent attackers to read the contents of arbitrary memory locations via a crafted value of the third argument (aka the bgd_color or clrBack argument) for an indexed image.
