Description

php security update

PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language. PHP attempts to make it easy for developers to write dynamically generated web pages. PHP also offers built-in database integration for several commercial and non-commercial database management systems, so writing adatabase-enabled webpage with PHP is fairly simple. The most common use of PHP coding is probably as a replacement for CGI scripts.The php package contains the module (often referred to as mod_php)which adds support for the PHP language to Apache HTTP Server.

Security Fix(es):

The Keccak XKCP SHA-3 reference implementation before fdc6fef has an integer overflow and resultant buffer overflow that allows attackers to execute arbitrary code or eliminate expected cryptographic properties. This occurs in the sponge function interface.(CVE-2022-37454)
