Loading a TIFF or JPEG malicious file can lead to a Denial-of-Service
attack when the EXIF header is being parsed.

Loading a malicious phar archive can cause an extensive memory
allocation, leading to a Denial-of-Service attack on 32 bit
computers.

An attacker might remotely execute arbitrary code using a malicious
phar archive. This is the consequence of an off-by-one memory
corruption.

An attacker with control of the unserialize() function argument can
cause an out-of-bounce read. This could lead to a Denial-of-Service

We recommend that you upgrade your php5 packages.
