A vulnerability was found in PHP up to 5.4.43/5.5.27/5.6.11 (Programming Language Software). It has been rated as very critical. This issue affects the function SoapClient::__call
of the file ext/soap/php_http.c. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a null pointer dereference vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-476. A NULL pointer dereference occurs when the application dereferences a pointer that it expects to be valid, but is NULL, typically causing a crash or exit.
