CVE-2012-0788 Information

Description

The PDORow implementation in PHP before 5.3.9 does not properly interact with the session feature which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted application that uses a PDO driver for a fetch and then calls the session_start function as demonstrated by a crash of the Apache HTTP Server.
