NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream rh-php70-php-pgsql package and not the rh-php70-php-pgsql package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

In all versions of PHP 7, during the unserialization process, resizing the 'properties' hash table of a serialized object may lead to use-after-free. A remote attacker may exploit this bug to gain arbitrary code execution.
