Important: php8.4 security, bug fix, and enhancement update

Published Aug 20, 2026 · Updated Aug 20, 2026

Summary

PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language. PHP attempts to make it easy for developers to write dynamically generated web pages. PHP also offers built-in database integration for several commercial and non-commercial database management systems, so writing a database-enabled webpage with PHP is fairly simple. The most common use of PHP coding is probably as a replacement for CGI scripts.

* php: ext-pgsql: PHP: SQL injection via improper backslash escaping (CVE-2026-17543)

* php: PHP: Arbitrary code execution via out-of-bounds write in bccomp() (CVE-2026-17544)
