FYI, this affects the 7.2.6 release as well, but I haven't tested other versions.
 [2018-06-09 16:55 UTC] cmb@php.net 
Indeed, PHP-7.2 as well as master have been affected (but not
earlier version branches), and both have been fixed.

CVE-2018-12882 has been assigned to this bug.

Requesting a CVE for a bug which had been reported and discussed
publicly is pretty strange.

Stas, would do you think?

 [2018-06-26 23:45 UTC] stas@php.net 
I don't think CVE has something to do with publicity. CVE is an issue identifier, which allows to track it across distributions, builds, etc. and which is issued for security issues. It doesn't matter whether it was disclosed publicly or not and which version fixes it - CVE allows to track security issues in every version and thus to have a picture which issue is fixed where. 
It looks like this one also should be a security issue since exif bugs usually deal with external data. Not sure where this fix has been applied and whether it need a backport, will check.

 [2018-06-27 09:27 UTC] cmb@php.net 
The fix has been committed to PHP-7.2 and master (older branches
are not affected); it has missed PHP 7.2.7, though, since it has
not been regarded as security fix.
