PHP is a widely-used general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for Web development and can be embedded into HTML.

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in PHP. Please review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.

A context-dependent attacker can cause arbitrary code execution, create a Denial of Service condition, read or write arbitrary files, impersonate other servers, hijack a web session, or have other unspecified impact. Additionally, a local attacker could gain escalated privileges.

There is no known workaround at this time.
