There is no fixed version for Centos:7 php-common.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream php-common package and not the php-common package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

The phar_make_dirstream function in ext/phar/dirstream.c in PHP before 5.6.18 and 7.x before 7.0.3 mishandles zero-size ././@LongLink files, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (uninitialized pointer dereference) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted TAR archive.
