Description Andrej Nemec 2016-05-17 08:34:49 EDT
A vulnerability related to recursive method calls handling was found in php. the Tnumber of nested calls a method could perform to itself doesn't seem to be limited, causing an infinite recursion that would result in invalid memory read access due to stack exhaustion.

Comment 1 Tomas Hoger 2016-05-19 15:58:44 EDT
This bug is triggered by a specially crafted code, or by deserialization of untrusted input.  Both of these are insecure, with worse impact that just crash this bug causes.  There is no plan to backport this fix to PHP packages in Red Hat products.
