Multipart form-data boundary handling flaw

CVE-2024-8925Medium 5.3 Published SAPI multipart POST parser

Also known as: GHSA-9pqp-7h25-4f32

Incorrect handling of multipart/form-data boundaries lets an attacker cause parts of form data to be ignored, so legitimate fields may not be processed.

Exploitation conditions

No special conditions are documented.

Remediation

Upgrade to 8.1.30, 8.2.24, 8.3.12 or a later release of your branch. If your branch is end-of-life, move to a supported branch. Distribution packages may carry a backported fix under an older version number; confirm with your vendor's security tracker.

A version number alone cannot prove patch status. Linux distributions and hosting providers often backport security fixes without changing the version. Check your vendor’s changelog.
