Updated PHP 5.6 packages has been released for Debian GNU/Linux 8 LTS
Package : php5PHP5 Security Update for Debian 8 LTS
Version : 5.6.37+dfsg-0+deb8u1
CVE ID : CVE-2018-14851 CVE-2018-14883
Debian Bug : 890266
Two vulnerabilities have been discovered in php5, a server-side,
HTML-embedded scripting language. One (CVE-2018-14851) results in a
potential denial of service (out-of-bounds read and application crash)
via a crafted JPEG file. The other (CVE-2018-14883) is an Integer
Overflow that leads to a heap-based buffer over-read.
Additionally, a previously introduced patch for CVE-2017-7272 was found
to negatively affect existing PHP applications (#890266). As a result
of the negative effects and the fact that the security team has marked
the CVE in question as "ignore," the patch has been dropped.
For Debian 8 "Jessie", these problems have been fixed in version
5.6.37+dfsg-0+deb8u1.
We recommend that you upgrade your php5 packages.
