PHP < 5.6.36, 7.x < 7.0.30, 7.1.x < 7.1.17, 7.2.x < 7.2.5 Multiple Vulnerabilities (May 2018) - Windows

PHP Multiple Vulnerabilities (May 2018) - Windows. PHP is prone to multiple vulnerabilities including out of bounds read error in 'exif_read_data' function, stream filter 'convert.iconv' error, LDAP module error, and 'phar_do_404()' function error. Successful exploitation allows XSS attacks, PHP crash, denial-of-service, and arbitrary code execution
