NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream php-xml package and not the php-xml package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

The Phar extension in PHP before 5.5.34, 5.6.x before 5.6.20, and 7.x before 7.0.5 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted filename, as demonstrated by mishandling of \0 characters by the phar_analyze_path function in ext/phar/phar.c.
