This CVE only affects PHP 8.3 that we did not ship.\nThe vulnerability in mb_encode_mimeheader presents a moderate severity issue due to its potential for causing service disruption and resource exhaustion. While the vulnerability primarily manifests as an infinite loop with specific input strings, it requires the function to be invoked with the problematic input. This limits its immediate impact to systems where the function is explicitly called with unfiltered or untrusted inputs. Moreover, its exploitation primarily leads to a Denial-of-Service (DoS) condition rather than arbitrary code execution or data compromise. However, given the function's integral role in email processing and its use in frameworks like CakePHP 5, the risk of disruption to email services and associated processing routines is non-trivial.", "threat_severity": "Moderate", "upstream_fix": "php 8.3.6"}
