Description

A flaw was found in PHP. The metaphone() function in ext/standard/metaphone.c uses a signed int variable to track the current position within the input string. When an input string is longer than 2,147,483,647 bytes, a signed integer overflow can occur, leading to undefined behavior and an out-of-bounds read. This issue can cause a denial of service and a limited memory disclosure.
