- EPSS: 2.3% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days

- Weakness: CWE-20
Description
In PHP before 5.5.32, 5.6.x before 5.6.18, and 7.x before 7.0.3, all of the return values of stream_get_meta_data can be controlled if the input can be controlled (e.g., during file uploads). For example, a "$uri = stream_get_meta_data(fopen($file, "r"))['uri']" call mishandles the case where $file is data:text/plain;uri=eviluri, -- in other words, metadata can be set by an attacker.
Affected products
- Canonical Ubuntu Linux: 14.04, 16.04, 17.10
- PHP: through 5.5.31; from 5.6.0 through 5.6.17; from 7.0.0 through 7.0.2
