Vulnerability Details

CVEID: CVE-2016-7124
DESCRIPTION:
PHP is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by the improper handling of invalid objects by ext/standard/var_unserializer.c. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability using specially crafted serialized data to cause a denial of service.
CVSS Base Score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/116959 for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined

CVEID: CVE-2016-7125
DESCRIPTION:
PHP could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by the skipping of invalid session names that triggers incorrect parsing by ext/session/session.c. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability using control of a session name to inject and execute arbitrary code on the system.
CVSS Base Score: 9.8
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/116958 for the current score

CVEID: CVE-2016-7126
DESCRIPTION:
PHP is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by the failure to properly validate the number of colors by the imagetruecolortopalette function. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability using a large value in the third argument to cause a denial of service.
CVSS Base Score: 7.5

CVEID: CVE-2016-7127
DESCRIPTION:
PHP is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by the failure to properly validate gamma values by the imagegammacorrect functions. By providing different signs for the second and third arguments, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause an out-of-bounds write.
CVSS Base Score: 7.5

CVEID: CVE-2016-7128
DESCRIPTION:
PHP could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by the improper handling of the case of a thumbnail offset that exceeds the file size by the exif_process_IFD_in_TIFF function. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability using a specially crafted TIFF image to obtain sensitive information.
CVSS Base Score: 7.5
