PHP Security Consortium has released a security update stating that the following vulnerabilities have been discovered in PHP Ver 7.1.19 & 7.2.7:

a) Bug #76174 – openssl extension fails to build with LibreSSL 2.7.

b) Bug #76296 – openssl_pkey_get_public does not respect open_basedir.

c) Bug #76333 – PHP built-in server does not find files if root path contains special characters.

d) Bug #76335 – “link(): Bad file descriptor” with non-ASCII path.

g) Bug #76410 – SIGV in zend_mm_alloc_small.

Successful exploitation of the most severe of these vulnerabilities could allow for arbitrary code execution in the context of the affected application.

Depending on the privileges associated with the application, an attacker could install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights while failed exploitation could result in a denial-of-service condition.
