The ZIP signature-verification feature in PHP before 5.6.26 and 7.x before 7.0.11 does not ensure that the uncompressed_filesize field is large enough, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds memory access) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted PHAR archive, related to ext/phar/util.c and ext/phar/zip.c.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2016-7414 is a PHP flaw in PHAR ZIP signature verification. A crafted PHAR archive can trigger out-of-bounds memory access, causing denial of service and possibly other unspecified impact. The sources identify affected PHP versions before 5.6.26 and 7.x before 7.0.11. Exposure is most likely where PHP versions older than 5.6.26 or 7.0.11 process untrusted PHAR archives, including ZIP-based PHAR files. Distro packages may carry backported fixes, so version checks should include vendor advisory status. Handle as a legacy PHP exposure requiring inventory and patch confirmation. The main confirmed business risk is service disruption; broader impact is not specified in the provided sources. Mitigation focus: Upgrade PHP to 5.6.26, 7.0.11, or a vendor-patched later package.; Check Linux distribution advisories for backported PHP security fixes.; Limit processing of untrusted PHAR or ZIP-based PHAR archives where feasible..
