[Bug 697181] Re: DoS: Infinite loop processing 2.2250738585072011e-308

[Daniel Hahler]

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: php5
  
  Processing certain textual forms of MAX_FLOAT leads to an infinite
  loop/hang/DoS:
  
    php -r "print 2.2250738585072011e-308;"
  
  hangs indefinitely, whereas:
  
    php -r "print 2.2250738585072010e-308;"
  
  returns immediately.
  
  Confirmed for natty/php5-cli=5.3.3-1ubuntu11
  
  Fixed in new upstream releases:
  
-   http://www.php.net/ChangeLog-5.php#5.3.4
