CVE-2016-9137
Use-after-free vulnerability in the CURLFile implementation in ext/curl/curl_file.c in PHP before 5.6.27 and 7.x before 7.0.12 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted serialized data…
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (5.32%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
