Improper resource allocation - Buffer overflow In php

Description

A flaw was found in iconv. Several encoding modules, including HZ, UTF-7, VIQR, and ZW, did not properly validate the size of the provided output buffer before writing converted characters. This oversight could allow an application using iconv to convert untrusted input with one of the affected encodings to experience buffer overflows, potentially leading to denial of service or arbitrary code execution.

Mitigation

Update Impact

Minimal update. May introduce new vulnerabilities or breaking changes.
