CVE-2016-7418 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
There is no fixed version for RHEL:7 php-xml.
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 php_wddx_push_element function in ext/wddx/wddx.c in PHP before 5.6.26 and 7.x before 7.0.11 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid pointer access and out-of-bounds read) or possibly have unspecified other impact via an incorrect boolean element in a wddxPacket XML document, leading to mishandling in a wddx_deserialize call.
