PHP Denial of Service vulnerability in PHP 7.x versions prior to 7.0.6 on Windows. Multiple integer overflows in 'php_zip.c' script in the zip extension cause a heap-based buffer overflow and application crash, allowing remote attackers to cause a denial of service. Update to PHP version 7.0.6 or later
