The php_zip_make_relative_path function in php_zip.c in PHP 5.2.x before 5.2.9 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a ZIP file that contains filenames with relative paths, which is not properly handled during extraction.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old PHP ZIP-handling denial-of-service flaw. A vulnerable PHP 5.2.x application that extracts attacker-supplied ZIP files could crash when handling filenames with relative paths. The business risk is service disruption in legacy systems, not data theft based on the provided sources. Exposure is most likely in legacy PHP 5.2.x before 5.2.9 where the ZIP extension processes untrusted ZIP uploads or archives. Modern supported PHP deployments are unlikely to be affected, but old embedded, appliance, or vendor-packaged PHP copies should be checked. Prioritize if any internet-facing or partner-facing legacy PHP service extracts uploaded ZIP files. Otherwise treat as a legacy hygiene item: identify old PHP runtimes and remove or patch them during normal risk reduction work. Mitigation focus: Upgrade PHP 5.2.x deployments to 5.2.9 or later vendor-fixed packages.; Retire unsupported PHP 5.2 systems where feasible.; Restrict extraction of untrusted ZIP files until patched..
