Descriptions

The SPL component in PHP before 5.4.30 and 5.5.x before 5.5.14 incorrectly anticipates that certain data structures will have the array data type after unserialization, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted string that triggers use of a Hashtable destructor, related to "type confusion" issues in (1) ArrayObject and (2) SPLObjectStorage.

El componente SPL en PHP anterior a 5.4.30 y 5.5.x anterior a 5.5.14 anticipa incorrectamente que ciertas estructuras de datos tendrán el tipo de datos array después de deserialización, lo que permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario a través de una cadena manipulada que provoca el uso de un destructor Hashtable, relacionado con problemas de 'confusión de tipos' en (1) ArrayObject y (2) SPLObjectStorage.

A type confusion issue was found in the SPL ArrayObject and SPLObjectStorage classes' unserialize() method. A remote attacker able to submit specially crafted input to a PHP application, which would then unserialize this input using one of the aforementioned methods, could use this flaw to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running that PHP application.
