Description

** DISPUTED ** An issue was discovered in PHP 7.x before 7.1.27 and 7.3.x before 7.3.3. phar_tar_writeheaders_int in ext/phar/tar.c has a buffer overflow via a long link value. NOTE: The vendor indicates that the link value is used only when an archive contains a symlink, which currently cannot happen: "This issue allows theoretical compromise of security, but a practical attack is usually impossible."

Solution(s)

  • ubuntu-upgrade-libapache2-mod-php5
  • ubuntu-upgrade-php5-cgi
  • ubuntu-upgrade-php5-cli
  • ubuntu-upgrade-php5-fpm
  • ubuntu-upgrade-php5-xmlrpc
