Description (last modified by )
Multiple UTF-8 functions are unsave and vulnerable to denial of service attacks or buffer overflow attacks.
This includes:
count_utf8_bytes
UTF8CountBytes
UTF8CountChars
UTF8ToCharCode
UTF8ToLength
It is dangerous to look only at the first byte to determine how long an character sequence is. A malformed sequence can be used to skip a string's terminating zero byte.
Example (2 bytes and terminating zero):
0xE0 0x81 0x00
The first byte tells that it's 3 bytes long, and the above mentioned functions will skip the terminating zero.
