Php · Php · CVE-2016-9936
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
PHP versions prior to 7.0.14
**Description**
The issue is related to the unserialize implementation in PHP, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have other impacts via crafted serialized data. This is due to an incomplete fix for a previous issue. The vulnerability is associated with the use of memory after it has been freed, and its exploitation can lead to a denial of service or other unspecified effects.
**Recommendations**
For PHP versions prior to 7.0.14, update to version 7.0.14 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the unserialize function until a patch is applied. Avoid using crafted serialized data in the affected API endpoints until the issue is resolved.
