CVE-2016-7134

26
FAUCET Score

CVE-2016-7134 is a critical vulnerability affecting PHP 7.x before version 7.0.10, specifically within the ext/curl/interface.c component. It stems from PHP's failure to properly handle a libcurl integer overflow when processing long strings in a curl_escape call. This flaw carries a CVSS v3.0 score of 9.8 (CRITICAL), indicating it can be exploited remotely with low complexity and no user interaction, potentially leading to a denial of service through allocation errors and heap-based buffer overflows, or other unspecified severe impacts. Despite its high severity, there is no evidence of active exploitation, publicly available exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage.
