Update Summary

PHP 8.3.30 addresses multiple memory-safety vulnerabilities and crashes across core, DOM, GD, Phar, SPL, Standard, and Zlib, along with other reliability and compatibility fixes.

Update Details

Security

  • Fixed a use-after-free in php_output_handler_free caused by re-entrant ob_start() during error deactivation.
  • Fixed a null pointer dereference when cloning DOM namespace nodes from malformed objects.
  • Fixed an integer overflow in imagestring() and imagestringup().
  • Fixed a heap buffer overflow in iptcembed().
  • Fixed an out-of-bounds gzseek() condition that caused an assertion failure.
  • Fixed an integer overflow in bzcompress() with large source sizes.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an assertion failure in normalize_value() when parsing malformed INI input with parse_ini_string() (GH-20695).
  • Fixed an uncatchable exception thrown from a generator (GH-20714).
  • Corrected function-signature dumping with dynamic class-constant lookup default arguments, identified by OSS-Fuzz #465488618.
  • Fixed a memory leak in umsg_format_helper().
  • Fixed a memory leak in ldap_set_options().
  • Fixed mb_decode_mimeheader() handling of separators (GH-20674).
  • Fixed undefined behavior in Phar::loadPhar() when reading fails (GH-20732).
  • Fixed SplFileInfo::openFile() in write mode.
  • Fixed a crash when converting POSIX groups to a PHP array on macOS.
  • Fixed a crash when closing a resource created by GlobIterator with fclose() (GH-20678).
  • Fixed SQLite3Result::fetchArray() returning null instead of array|false (GH-20699).
  • Corrected error checking for proc_open() commands.

Hints

  • Build compatibility was restored for systems using legacy OpenSSL 1.1.0.
