Doc Text:	A flaw was found in PHP. The `fsockopen()` function and related functions fail to validate NULL characters within the provided hostname, potentially leading to unexpected behavior during parsing. This flaw allows a network attacker to supply a specially crafted hostname. This issue can result in a denial of service due to parsing errors.	Story Points:	---

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-07-13 23:01:10 UTC

In PHP versions:8.1.* before 8.1.33, 8.2.* before 8.2.29, 8.3.* before 8.3.23, 8.4.* before 8.4.10 some functions like fsockopen() lack validation that the hostname supplied does not contain null characters. This may lead to other functions like parse_url() treat the hostname in different way, thus opening way to security problems if the user code implements access checks before access using such functions.

CVE state is currently "Fix Deferred". Is there a plan to fix this for Red Hat 8.10 for DNF Module php:8.2?
