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 SoapClient::__call method in ext/soap/soap.c in PHP before 5.4.39, 5.5.x before 5.5.23, and 5.6.x before 5.6.7 does not verify that __default_headers is an array, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by providing crafted serialized data with an unexpected data type, related to a "type confusion" issue.
