Descriptions

ext/session/session.c in PHP before 5.6.25 and 7.x before 7.0.10 skips invalid session names in a way that triggers incorrect parsing, which allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary-type session data by leveraging control of a session name, as demonstrated by object injection.

ext/session/session.c en PHP en versiones anteriores a 5.6.25 y 7.x en versiones anteriores a 7.0.10 omite nombres de sesión no válidos de una manera que desencadena un análisis gramatical incorrecto, lo que permite a atacantes remotos inyectar datos de sesión de tipo arbitrario aprovechando el control de un nombre de sesión, según lo demostrado mediante la inyección de objetos.

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.
