Description Dhananjay Arunesh 2019-02-25 10:03:30 UTC 
In PHP before 5.6.39, 7.x before 7.0.33, 7.1.x before 7.1.25, and 7.2.x before 7.2.13, a buffer over-read in PHAR reading functions may allow an attacker to read allocated or unallocated memory past the actual data when trying to parse a .phar file. This is related to phar_parse_pharfile in ext/phar/phar.c.

Comment 3 Huzaifa S. Sidhpurwala 2019-05-13 04:10:12 UTC 
Analysis: 

Essentially an OOB read in the PHAR code, which can be triggered by malicious PHAR files. Obviously the php script needs to allow users (attackers) to upload arbitrary PHAR files and they need to be processed via Phar() function. Impact is PHP crash due to OOB read.
