HTTP: PHP Core Unserialize Process Nested Data Use After Free

This signature detects attempts to exploit a use After Free vulnerability against PHP Core. A successful attack will result in remote code execution under the context of the service running the PHP service.

Extended Description

Use-after-free vulnerability in the process_nested_data function in ext/standard/var_unserializer.re in PHP before 5.4.37, 5.5.x before 5.5.21, and 5.6.x before 5.6.5 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted unserialize call that leverages improper handling of duplicate numerical keys within the serialized properties of an object.
