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.
Remediation
Cybersecurity Help is not aware of any official remediation provided by the vendor.
