Floating point DoS attack (PHP)

A bug in the way the PHP scripting language converts certain numbers may cause it to tie up all system resources. For example, on 32-bit systems, converting the string "2.2250738585072011e-308" into a floating point number using the function zend_strtod results in an infinite loop and consequent full utilisation of CPU resources.
