A vulnerability has been discovered in php-pecl-http, the pecl_http module for PHP 5 Extended HTTP Support. A type confusion vulnerability in the merge_param() function allows attackers to crash PHP and possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted HTTP requests.

For Debian 8 ‘Jessie’, this problem has been fixed in version 2.0.4-1+deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your php-pecl-http packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
