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 Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:16.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

ext/standard/var_unserializer.c in PHP before 5.6.25 and 7.x before 7.0.10 mishandles certain invalid objects, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted serialized data that leads to a (1) __destruct call or (2) magic method call.
