PHP < 5.5.34, 5.6.x < 5.6.20, 7.0.x < 7.0.5 Multiple Vulnerabilities (Jul 2016) - Linux. Multiple integer overflows, format string vulnerability, improper handling of '\0' characters, and integer overflow issues impact PHP versions prior to 5.5.34, 5.6.x before 5.6.20, and 7.0.x before 7.0.5 on Linux. Exploiting the issue can lead to denial of service or arbitrary code execution
