PHP versions 5.4.40, 5.5.24 and 5.6.8 fix a vulnerability which potentially might allow a remote code execution with apache 2.4 apache2handler. Upstream bug: https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=69218 Upstream commit: http://git.php.net/?p=php-src.git;a=commitdiff;h=809610f5ea38a83b284e1125d1fff129bdd615e7
This only affects PHP versions used with httpd 2.4, which changed behaviour compared to earlier 2.2 versions. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and earlier provides httpd 2.2 and is therefore not affected. Red Hat Software Collections provide multiple PHP versions - php54 collection uses system httpd version, and hence is only affected on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7; php55 collection uses httpd from the httpd24 collection and hence is affected regardless of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux version. Statement: This issue did not affect PHP packages as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6.
