CVE-2016-9936
The unserialize implementation in ext/standard/var.c in PHP 7.x before 7.0.14 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (use-after-free) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted serialized data.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (4.30%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
