Description Tomas Hoger 2014-12-18 13:15:06 UTC 
A use-after-free flaw was found in PHP unserialize().  An untrusted input could cause PHP interpreter to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code when processed using unserialize().

Upstream bug (currently private):

https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=68594

Upstream commit:

http://git.php.net/?p=php-src.git;a=commitdiff;h=630f9c33c23639de85c3fd306b209b538b73b4c9
http://git.php.net/?p=php-src.git;a=commitdiff;h=53f129a44d3c4ec0fae57993b9ae2f6cb48973cc

Note that unserialize() is unsafe for use on untrusted inputs, as is documented in the PHP manual for the function:

http://php.net/manual/en/function.unserialize.php
Comment 2 Vincent Danen 2014-12-19 15:02:35 UTC 
Statement:

This issue did not affect the versions of php as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6 or the versions of php53 as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

The PHP manual documents that using unserialize() on untrusted user input is unsafe and not recommended.

Note that upstream did not properly correct this flaw, and CVE-2015-0231 was assigned to that incomplete fix (see bug #1185397) so any future updates to fix this must take this into account to ensure that this CVE is properly fixed.
