CVE-2016-7414
9.8
CRITICAL · CVSS 3.0 · EPSS 6.8% (pctl 94)
In your normal cycle
Critical by CVSS (9.8), but no sign of active exploitation.
Description
The ZIP signature-verification feature in PHP before 5.6.26 and 7.x before 7.0.11 does not ensure that the uncompressed_filesize field is large enough, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds memory access) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted PHAR archive, related to ext/phar/util.c and ext/phar/zip.c.
