Description

The phar_convert_to_other function in ext/phar/phar_object.c in PHP before 5.4.43, 5.5.x before 5.5.27, and 5.6.x before 5.6.11 does not validate a file pointer before a close operation, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted TAR archive that is mishandled in a Phar::convertToData call.

  • PHP versions 5.5.0, 5.5.0alpha1, 5.5.0alpha2, 5.5.0alpha3, 5.5.0alpha4, 5.5.0alpha5, 5.5.0alpha6, 5.5.0beta1, 5.5.0beta2, 5.5.0beta3, 5.5.0beta4, 5.5.0rc1, 5.5.0rc2, 5.5.1, 5.5.2, 5.5.3, 5.5.4, 5.5.5, 5.5.6, 5.5.7, 5.5.8, 5.5.9, 5.5.10, 5.5.11, 5.5.12, 5.5.13, 5.5.14, 5.5.15, 5.5.16, 5.5.17, 5.5.18, 5.5.19, 5.5.20, 5.5.21, 5.5.22, 5.5.23, 5.5.24, 5.5.25, 5.5.26, 5.6.0alpha1, 5.6.0alpha2, 5.6.0alpha3, 5.6.0alpha4, 5.6.0alpha5, 5.6.0beta1, 5.6.0beta2, 5.6.0beta3, 5.6.0beta4, 5.6.1, 5.6.2, 5.6.3, 5.6.4, 5.6.5, 5.6.6, 5.6.7, 5.6.8, 5.6.9, 5.6.10
