CVE-2020-7068
In PHP versions 7.2.x below 7.2.33, 7.3.x below 7.3.21 and 7.4.x below 7.4.9, while processing PHAR files using phar extension, phar_parse_zipfile could be tricked into accessing freed memory, which could lead to a crash or information disclosure.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.66%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
