Descriptions

ext/standard/var_unserializer.c in PHP before 5.6.25 and 7.x before 7.0.10 mishandles certain invalid objects, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted serialized data that leads to a (1) __destruct call or (2) magic method call.

ext/standard/var_unserializer.c en PHP en versiones anteriores a 5.6.25 y 7.x en versiones anteriores a 7.0.10 no maneja adecuadamente ciertos objetos no válidos, lo que permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio o tener otro posible impacto no especificado a través de datos serializados manipulados que conducen a (1) una llamada __destruct o (2) una llamada al método mágico.

PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language commonly used with the Apache HTTP Server. The rh-php56 packages provide a recent stable release of PHP with PEAR 1.9.5 and enhanced language features including constant expressions, variadic functions, arguments unpacking, and the interactive debuger. The memcache, mongo, and XDebug extensions are also included. The rh-php56 Software Collection has been upgraded to version 5.6.25, which provides a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous version. Security Fixes in the rh-php56-php component have been added.
