Descriptions

Stack-based buffer overflow in the phar_fix_filepath function in ext/phar/phar.c in PHP before 5.4.43, 5.5.x before 5.5.27, and 5.6.x before 5.6.11 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via a large length value, as demonstrated by mishandling of an e-mail attachment by the imap PHP extension.

Desbordamiento de buffer basado en pila en la función phar_fix_filepath en ext/phar/phar.c en PHP en versiones anteriores a 5.4.43, 5.5.x en versiones anteriores a 5.5.27 y 5.6.x en versiones anteriores a 5.6.11 permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio o posiblemente tener otro impacto no especificado a través de un valor de gran longitud, según lo demostrado por el manejo incorrecto de un archivo adjunto de un e-mail en la extensión PHP imap.

A flaw was found in the way the way PHP's Phar extension parsed Phar archives. A specially crafted archive could cause PHP to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code when opened.
