DEBIAN-CVE-2026-6104
In PHP versions 8.4. before 8.4.21 and 8.5. before 8.5.6, when an encoding name containing an embedded NUL byte is passed to mbconvertencoding() or related mbstring functions, the code incorrectly assumes that when strncasecmp() returns 0 it means the strings have the same length. This can lead to out-of-bounds read of global memory, potentially causing a crash or information disclosure or crash. Affected functions include mbconvertencoding(), mbdetectencoding(), mbconvertvariables(), and mbdetectorder(), as well as the mbstring.detectorder and mbstring.httpoutput INI settings.
