Frequently Asked Questions

1

Which deployments are affected?

Apache Thrift installations using the PHP bindings are affected if they run a version before 0.25.0. The issue is in the PHP accelerator's handling of a string length supplied on the wire.

2

What must an attacker control to trigger the issue?

An attacker needs to provide Thrift wire data containing a controlled string length. That length can cause integer overflow or wraparound and lead the PHP accelerator to size a stack buffer incorrectly.

3

What is the recommended remediation?

Upgrade Apache Thrift to version 0.25.0, which fixes the issue.
