Additional information
NVDhttps://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2007-1285
CWEhttps://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/674.html

The Zend Engine in PHP 4.x before 4.4.7, and 5.x before 5.2.2, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (stack exhaustion and PHP crash) via deeply nested arrays, which trigger deep recursion in the variable destruction routines.

Weakness

The product does not properly control the amount of recursion that takes place, consuming excessive resources, such as allocated memory or the program stack.
