CVE Details

In PHP versions before 7.4.31, 8.0.24, and 8.1.11, the PHAR uncompressor code would recursively uncompress "quines" gzip files, resulting in an infinite loop.

Recommendations

If you use PHAR files to serve your website, the PHAR files utilize gzip compression, and you are on PHP versions prior to 7.4.31, 8.0.24, or 8.1.11, you should update to a patched version of PHP.
