PHP patches two critical RCE flaws today, 14:00 UTC, and has described neither. Both 9.2.
The leak behind the date claimed CVSS 10.0 and every version since PHP 5. Unconfirmed.
Only 8.2 to 8.5 get a fix. Mallory counts 884,000 internet-facing hosts on 8.1 or older. Banners, not confirmed vulnerable. No patch for them either way.
No workaround. CERT-EU says isolate.
