Description

Integer overflow in the phar_parse_pharfile function in ext/phar/phar.c in PHP before 5.6.30 and 7.0.x before 7.0.15 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption or application crash) via a truncated manifest entry in a PHAR archive.

Affected

v ≤ 5.6.297.0.0 ≤ v < 7.0.157.1.0
Affected range stops below 7.0.15, so it looks safe — our inference, not a vendor statement
