Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'php' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2021-0501 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Updated php packages fix security vulnerability:

In PHP versions 8.0.x below 8.0.12, when running PHP FPM SAPI with main
FPM daemon process running as root and child worker processes running as
lower-privileged users, it is possible for the child processes to access
memory shared with the main process and write to it, modifying it in a
way that would cause the root process to conduct invalid memory reads and
writes, which can be used to escalate privileges from local unprivileged
user to the root user (CVE-2021-21703).

The php packages have been updated to 8.0.12 that fixes this issue and
other bugs.

Affected Software/OS:
'php' package(s) on Mageia 8.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).
