NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream php7.0 package and not the php7.0 package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

Multiple integer overflows in mcrypt.c in the mcrypt extension in PHP before 5.5.37, 5.6.x before 5.6.23, and 7.x before 7.0.8 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted length value, related to the (1) mcrypt_generic and (2) mdecrypt_generic functions.
