Description Adam Mariš 2017-02-03 07:22:18 EST

The object_common1 function in ext/standard/var_unserializer.c in PHP before 5.6.30, 7.0.x before 7.0.15, and 7.1.x before 7.1.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer over-read and application crash) via crafted serialized data that is mishandled in a finish_nested_data call.

Comment 2 Adam Mariš 2017-02-03 07:52:35 EST

This issue happens when untrusted input is unserialized. Doing so is 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.
