PHP 4.4.x before 4.4.9, and 5.x through 5.2.6, when used as a FastCGI module, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a request with multiple dots preceding the extension, as demonstrated using foo..php.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This issue affects very old PHP deployments running as FastCGI. A remote request using abnormal filename extension formatting can crash PHP, causing service disruption. The source bundle does not show data theft, code execution, CVSS scoring, or active exploitation evidence. Exposure is likely limited to legacy web servers still running affected PHP 4.4.x or PHP 5.2.6-and-earlier as FastCGI. Modern supported PHP versions should not be assumed affected based only on this bundle. Treat this as a legacy technology risk, not a broad emergency. Prioritize remediation if any internet-facing business service still depends on PHP 4.x or early PHP 5 FastCGI, because a crash can interrupt service availability. Mitigation focus: Inventory internet-facing systems using PHP as FastCGI.; Upgrade affected PHP 4.4.x deployments to at least 4.4.9 or vendor-fixed packages.; Replace unsupported PHP 5.2-era systems with currently supported PHP releases..
