Summary
Two vulnerabilities have been discovered in php5, a server-side, HTML-embedded scripting language. One (CVE-2018-14851) results in a potential denial of service (out-of-bounds read and application crash) via a crafted JPEG file. The other (CVE-2018-14883) is an Integer Overflow that leads to a heap-based buffer over-read. Additionally, a previously introduced patch for CVE-2017-7272 was found to negatively affect existing PHP applications (#890266). As a result of the negative effects and the fact that the security team has marked the CVE in question as 'ignore, ' the patch has been dropped.
