CVE-2016-7130 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade Debian:8 php5 to version 5.6.26+dfsg-0+deb8u1 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream php5 package and not the php5 package as distributed by Debian.
See How to fix? for Debian:8 relevant fixed versions and status.
The php_wddx_pop_element function in ext/wddx/wddx.c in PHP before 5.6.25 and 7.x before 7.0.10 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via an invalid base64 binary value, as demonstrated by a wddx_deserialize call that mishandles a binary element in a wddxPacket XML document.
