HTTP: PHP TAR File Parsing Uninitialized Reference
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against PHP Tar file parse. Versions PHP before 5.6.18 are vulnerable. Successful attack could result in arbitrary code execution on the vulnerable server.
Extended Description
The phar_make_dirstream function in ext/phar/dirstream.c in PHP before 5.6.18 and 7.x before 7.0.3 mishandles zero-size ././@LongLink files, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (uninitialized pointer dereference) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted TAR archive.
