Summary

The phar_parse_zipfile function in the PHAR extension in PHP before versions 5.5.33 and 5.6.19 allows remote attackers to read sensitive information from process memory or cause a denial of service (DoS) via an out-of-bounds read and application crash when a PK\x05\x06 signature is placed at an invalid location.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can access confidential data stored in server memory or cause application downtime, leading to information disclosure and service disruption.
