Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-10-16 15:59:24 UTC
GHSA - https://github.com/php/php-src/security/advisories/GHSA-h37m-fxqh-w76h

Found a crash while investigating https://github.com/php/php-src/security/advisories/GHSA-626f-5vcj-8h2p. 

An OOM at the wrong time can leave zend_array s in a corrupted
state, and cause a zval_ptr_dtor() on uninitialized memory during shutdown.
This seems critical as this can be triggered during input parsing.

Details

_zend_hash_str_add_or_update_i() updates ht->nNumUsed before initializing the bucket,
and then allocates a zend_string for the key with zend_string_init() . If
zend_string_init() OOMs, the zend_array is left with one uninitialized bucket.

idx = ht->nNumUsed++;
ht->nNumOfElements++;
p = ht->arData + idx;
p->key = key = zend_string_init(str, len, GC_FLAGS(ht) & IS_ARRAY_PERSISTENT);

During shutdown, i_zval_ptr_dtor() is called on the uninitialized bucket, which might
contain data from user inputs

Comment 11 Oleksii Molchanov 2026-10-22 22:47:31 UTC
Note for RHEL 7 users: the bulletin RHSB-2026-013 (updated on
22 Oct 2026, 15:47 UTC) lists RHEL 7 as "Only affected by
CVE-2026-109619 — In a default configuration, the version of PHP in
use is vulnerable". The CSAF VEX file for this CVE, generated earlier
on 22 Oct (05:04 UTC), still lists red_hat_enterprise_linux_7:php as
known_not_affected, so the two sources currently disagree:

https://access.redhat.com/security/vulnerabilities/RHSB-2026-013
https://security.access.redhat.com/data/csaf/v2/vex/2026/cve-2026-109619.json

The known path on php-5.4.16 is session upload progress, which is
enabled by default. As the upstream advisory describes, setting
session.upload_progress.enabled = 0 in php.ini (not with ini_set())
and restarting every process that runs PHP closes that path.

For systems that will not get a vendor update for php, for example
CentOS 7, I have published an unofficial backport of the upstream
minimal mitigation (php-src 712e60f9ed) as a rebuilt vendor package,
php-5.4.16-48.el7.php2shell.1. On PHP 5.4 it also disables session
upload progress in the code. It is not affiliated with or supported
by Red Hat:
