Description

The session deserializer in PHP before 5.4.45, 5.5.x before 5.5.29, and 5.6.x before 5.6.13 mishandles multiple php_var_unserialize calls, which allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) via crafted session content.

Solution(s)

  • php-upgrade-5_4_45
  • php-upgrade-5_5_29
  • php-upgrade-5_6_13
