NOTE: it could be argued that the ip2long behavior represents a risk for security-relevant issues in a way that is similar to strcpy's role in buffer overflows, in which case this would be a class of implementation bugs that would require separate CVE items for each PHP application that uses ip2long in a security-relevant manner." } ] }, "problemtype": { "problemtype_data": [ { "description": [ { "lang": "eng", "value": "n/a" } ] } ] }, "references": { "reference_data": [ { "name": "20060729 Re: PHP ip2long() function circumvention", "refsource": "BUGTRAQ", "url": "http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/441708/100/100/threaded" }, { "name": "20060729 PHP ip2long() function circumvention", "refsource": "BUGTRAQ", "url": "http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/441529/100/100/threaded" }, { "name": "http://retrogod.altervista.org/php_ip2long.htm", "refsource": "MISC", "url": "http://retrogod.altervista.org/php_ip2long.htm" }, { "name": "1016609", "refsource": "SECTRACK", "url": "http://securitytracker.com/id?1016609" } ] } }
