A vulnerability classified as critical has been found in PHP up to 5.6.24/7.0.9 (Programming Language Software). Affected is an unknown code of the file ext/session/session.c of the component Session Name Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a injection vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-74.

This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:
ext/session/session.c in PHP before 5.6.25 and 7.x before 7.0.10 skips invalid session names in a way that triggers incorrect parsing, which allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary-type session data by leveraging control of a session name, as demonstrated by object injection.
