CVE-2016-4072: php: Invalid memory write in phar on filename containing \0 inside name

Severity: Critical

CVSS Score: 9.8

The Phar extension in PHP before 5.5.34, 5.6.x before 5.6.20, and 7.x before 7.0.5 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted filename, as demonstrated by mishandling of \0 characters by the phar_analyze_path function in ext/phar/phar.c.
