How to fix?

There is no fixed version for RHEL:6 php-tidy.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream php-tidy package and not the php-tidy package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

The phar_convert_to_other function in ext/phar/phar_object.c in PHP before 5.4.43, 5.5.x before 5.5.27, and 5.6.x before 5.6.11 does not validate a file pointer before a close operation, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted TAR archive that is mishandled in a Phar::convertToData call.
