NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream php-recode package and not the php-recode package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

ext/session/session.c in PHP before 5.5.38, 5.6.x before 5.6.24, and 7.x before 7.0.9 does not properly maintain a certain hash data structure, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (use-after-free) or possibly have unspecified other impact via vectors related to session deserialization.
