Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

Stack-based buffer overflow in the zip:// URL wrapper in PECL ZIP 1.8.3 and earlier, as bundled with PHP 5.2.0 and 5.2.1, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long zip:// URL, as demonstrated by actively triggering URL access from a remote PHP interpreter via avatar upload or blog pingback.
