Descriptions

ext/wddx/wddx.c in PHP before 5.6.25 and 7.x before 7.0.10 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a malformed wddxPacket XML document that is mishandled in a wddx_deserialize call, as demonstrated by a tag that lacks a < (less than) character.

ext/wddx/wddx.c en PHP en versiones anteriores a 5.6.25 y 7.x en versiones anteriores a 7.0.10 permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (referencia a puntero NULL y caída de aplicación) o tener otro posible impacto no especificado a través de un documento XML wddxPacket mal formado que es manejado incorrectamente en una llamada wddx_deserialize, según lo demostrado mediante una etiqueta que carece de un carácter < (menos que).

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.
