Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-115560)

CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free

CVSSv4: 9.2 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:H/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.

The vulnerability exists due to an incomplete fix for #VU156712 (CVE-2026-109619). A remote attacker under certain condition can still bypass implemented user-after-free protections and execute arbitrary code on the system.

As per official PHP advisory: 

The issue can only occur under an unusual combination of configuration and application code. An application must set session.serialize_handler to php_binary or php_serialize in its configuration and then switch it to php at runtime with ini_set() before calling session_start(). Session upload progress must also still be enabled. Applications that never change the serialize handler at runtime can keep the feature enabled.
