PHP 5.2.1 - STR_IReplace Remote Denial of Service

source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/22505/info

PHP is prone to a denial-of-service vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input.

An attacker who can run PHP code on a vulnerable computer may exploit this vulnerability to crash PHP and the webserver, denying service to legitimate users.

This issue affects PHP 5.2.1; other versions may also be vulnerable.
