Update Summary

PHP 8.5.4 addresses multiple crashes, assertion failures, JIT and OpCache defects, extension errors, memory leaks, and compilation problems.

Update Details

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed multiple Core crashes and assertion failures involving AArch64 LTO builds, preloaded constant AST closures, constant-expression (unset) casts, lazy objects, Reflection lazy proxies, and hooked property operations.
  • Fixed JIT behavior when accessing null array keys and corrected OpCache JIT shared-memory handling on Solaris.
  • Fixed DatePeriod state restoration with a null start and preserved precision for timezone offsets containing seconds.
  • Fixed DOM Node property access errors that could incorrectly throw TypeError.
  • Relaxed LDAP control argument validation so attributes can be unset with ldap_modify().
  • Prevented mb_guess_encoding() crashes when given very large candidate-encoding lists.
  • Fixed OpenSSL memory leaks and error propagation, Curl length truncation, and several build-system and compilation issues.
