Description Adam Mariš 2016-09-19 12:30:33 UTC
It was discovered that when WDDX tries to deserialize "recordset" element, use after free happens if close tag for the field is not found. This happens only when field names are set.

Comment 2 Huzaifa S. Sidhpurwala 2016-10-12 09:11:42 UTC
This issue happens when untrusted input is unserialized.  Doing so it documented as being unsafe:

  http://php.net/manual/en/function.unserialize.php

  Do not pass untrusted user input to unserialize(). Unserialization can
  result in code being loaded and executed due to object instantiation and
  autoloading, and a malicious user may be able to exploit this. Use a safe,
  standard data interchange format such as JSON (via json_decode() and
  json_encode()) if you need to pass serialized data to the user.
