This issue was discussed in this list before.
As long as PHP calls unserialize for phar metadata, object injection is
possible
which may allow malicious code execution.
https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/master/ext/phar/phar.c#L607
I'm not sure if Phar metadata requires object or not.
If not, Phar may use JSON. Or we may add safer unserialize that ignores
object
and reference for maximum compatibility.
Something has to be done, since we wouldn't fix memory issue(s) in
unserialization.
