Update Summary

PHP 8.5.8 addresses memory corruption, allocation, and validation issues, including CVE-2026-14355 in OpenSSL encryption.

Update Details

Security

  • Fixed memory corruption in openssl_encrypt() with AES-WRAP-PAD (CVE-2026-14355).
  • Fixed a bypass of Phar magic ".phar" directory protection in Phar::addEmptyDir().
  • Fixed a double-free vulnerability in gdImageSetStyle() after an overflow-triggered early return.
  • Fixed oversized allocation and signed-overflow issues in bcround() and BcMath\Number::round().
  • Fixed unsafe Opcache inheritance-cache replay during reentrant autoloading.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed incorrect compile errors for goto statements targeting labels before try/finally blocks.
  • Fixed an assertion when an error handler throws during NaN-to-boolean or NaN-to-string coercion.
  • Corrected DatePeriod ISO 8601 recurrence validation.
  • Corrected EXIF handling for single and double tag values.
  • Fixed Intl transliteration argument positions for invalid start and end arguments.
  • Synchronized IntlTimeZone error state for invalid display types.
  • Fixed an Opcache tailcall vm_interrupt issue and corrupted variable types involving typed by-value returns with reference wrappers.
  • Preserved class-name case in ReflectionClass::getProperty() errors and autoloading.
  • Prevented SoapServer::handle() crashes when $_SERVER is not an array and corrected raw-input handling.
  • Corrected SQLite column retrieval error checks.
  • Fixed URI validation error handling so errors from previous wither calls are cleared.
  • Fixed Zip error-related memory leaks.
  • Fixed Zlib memory leaks when deflate initialization fails with a dictionary and in inflate_add().
  • Merged Lexbor patch c3a6847.

Hints

  • On Windows, LEXBOR_STATIC was added to CFLAGS_URI so ext/uri links correctly when statically linked into PHP.
