{"id":"BIT-libphp-2026-6104","summary":"Global buffer over-read in mb_convert_encoding() with attacker-supplied encoding","details":"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 mb_convert_encoding() 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 mb_convert_encoding(), mb_detect_encoding(), mb_convert_variables(), and mb_detect_order(), as well as the mbstring.detect_order and mbstring.http_output INI settings.","aliases":["BIT-php-2026-6104","BIT-php-min-2026-6104","CVE-2026-6104"],"modified":"2026-05-12T10:56:26.382382553Z","published":"2026-05-12T08:50:20.245Z","database_specific":{"cpes":["cpe:2.3:a:php:php:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*"],"severity":"Medium"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/php/php-src/security/advisories/GHSA-74r9-qxhc-fx53"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-6104"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"libphp","ecosystem":"Bitnami","purl":"pkg:bitnami/libphp"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"8.4.0"},{"fixed":"8.4.21"},{"introduced":"8.5.0"},{"fixed":"8.5.6"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/bitnami/vulndb/tree/main/data/libphp/BIT-libphp-2026-6104.json"},"severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V4","score":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:L/SC:L/SI:N/SA:L/E:X/CR:X/IR:X/AR:X/MAV:X/MAC:X/MAT:X/MPR:X/MUI:X/MVC:X/MVI:X/MVA:X/MSC:X/MSI:X/MSA:X/S:X/AU:X/R:X/V:X/RE:M/U:Amber"}]}],"schema_version":"1.7.5"}
