CWE-416  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

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 unserialize implementation in ext/standard/var.c in PHP 7.x before 7.0.14 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (use-after-free) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted serialized data. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2015-6834.
