The htmlspecialchars function in PHP before 5.2.12 does not properly handle (1) overlong UTF-8 sequences (2) invalid Shift_JIS sequences and (3) invalid EUC-JP sequences which allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks by placing a crafted byte sequence before a special character.
