Release candidates for PHP versions 8.5.2, 8.4.17, and 8.3.30 have been made available for testing, addressing a variety of security vulnerabilities and bugs present in previous versions. The updates include critical fixes such as a use-after-free vulnerability resolved by ensuring reentrancy during the deactivation of error handlers. Other key improvements involve addressing incorrect handling of function signatures with default arguments, resolving glitches related to generators, and fixing internal assertion failures when parsing improperly formatted INI data.
Additionally, the release addresses null pointer issues within the DOM module and enhances multiple other modules, including EXIF, Intl, LDAP, and Zlib. Notably, memory leaks have been cleaned up in functions like ldap_set_options() and umsg_format_helper(). Support has also been improved for older OpenSSL version 1.1.0 systems.
