Description Jiri Eischmann 2017-02-27 17:14:36 UTC 
If PHP is compiled on a newer kernel, it requires getrandom which is not available on older kernels. That causes problems when Fedora runs in a container on a host with an older kernel (e.g. RHEL 7). PHP should fallback to urandom in these cases. The bug has been fixed upstream, see the linked bug report.

This bug has a potential to break pretty much every security-concerned php app running on Fedora in a container on a host with an older kernel which is a typical scenario. In my case, it broke Nextcloud running on Fedora 25 in openvz on CentOS 7.

A temporary solution is downgrading to PHP 7.0.15 which doesn't suffer from this bug.
Comment 1 Remi Collet 2017-02-28 05:43:09 UTC 
The fix for upstream bug 74105 will be part of PHP 7.0.17 (planed for March 17th).

I will try to provide a 7.0.17RC1 build later this week (planed for March 2nd).
