HTTP: SERVER WEBAPP Empty Zip File Upload Attempt

This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against Web Application Server ZIP file parser. A successful attack can result in a denial-of-service condition.

Extended Description

The _zip_name_locate function in zip_name_locate.c in the Zip extension in PHP before 5.3.6 does not properly handle a ZIPARCHIVE::FL_UNCHANGED argument, which might allow context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) via an empty ZIP archive that is processed with a (1) locateName or (2) statName operation.
