PHP Improper Input Validation Vulnerability - CVE-2015-5589

Critical
Reference: CVE-2015-5589
NVD Link: https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2015-5589
Title: PHP Improper Input Validation Vulnerability
Overview:

The phar_convert_to_other function in ext/phar/phar_object.c in PHP before 5.4.43 5.5.x before 5.5.27 and 5.6.x before 5.6.11 does not validate a file pointer before a close operation which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted TAR archive that is mishandled in a Phar::convertToData call.
