Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in PHP, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).
The vulnerability is caused due to an error in the "readfile()" function when accessing files with a size multiple times larger than the underlying architecture's page size. This can reportedly be exploited to crash the httpd process running the PHP code.
This has been reported in PHP version 4.
