CWE-416  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:9 php7.0 to version 7.0.14-1 or higher.

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.

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.
