Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 27 Dec 2025
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponised: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation
Observed by OffSeq MirageSeen by Mirage: no evidence on record.
No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 26 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

Description

This update for php8 fixes the following issues: Version update to 8.4.16: Security fixes: - CVE-2025-14177: getimagesize() function may leak uninitialized heap memory into the APPn segments when reading images in multi-chunk mode (bsc#1255710). - CVE-2025-14178: heap buffer overflow occurs in array_merge() when the total element count of packed arrays exceeds 32-bit limits or HT_MAX_SIZE (bsc#1255711). - CVE-2025-14180: null pointer dereference in pdo_parse_params() function when using the PDO PostgreSQL driver with PDO::ATTR_EMULATE_PREPARES enabled (bsc#1255712). Other fixes: - php8 contains Directories owned by wwwrun but does not require User. (bsc#1255043)

Impact

The vulnerabilities involve out-of-bounds memory access which may allow attackers to cause application crashes or potentially execute arbitrary code depending on exploitation conditions. However, no known exploits have been reported in the wild, and the exact impact depends on the PHP version and deployment context.

Summary

This advisory reports multiple security vulnerabilities in PHP related to memory safety issues, specifically out-of-bounds read and write conditions (CWE-125 and CWE-787). These types of vulnerabilities can potentially lead to memory corruption, crashes, or other unintended behavior in applications using affected PHP versions. The advisory references Red Hat Product Security's RHSA-2026:2799 but does not provide explicit patch or remediation details.

CWE-125Out-of-bounds Read (opens in a new tab)
Base weaknessCWE Top 25 (2025): #8
The product reads data past the end, or before the beginning, of the intended buffer.
Implementation · Input Validation
Assume all input is malicious. Use an "accept known good" input validation strategy, i.e., use a list of acceptable inputs that strictly conform to specifications. Reject any input that does not strictly conform to specifications, or transform it into something that does.
Architecture and Design · Language Selection
Use a language that provides appropriate memory abstractions.

Base weaknessLikelihood of exploit: HighCWE Top 25 (2025): #5
The product writes data past the end, or before the beginning, of the intended buffer.
Requirements · Language Selection
Use a language that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
Architecture and Design · Libraries or Frameworks
Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
Operation · Build and Compilation · Environment Hardening
Use automatic buffer overflow detection mechanisms that are offered by certain compilers or compiler extensions. Examples include: the Microsoft Visual Studio /GS flag, Fedora/Red Hat FORTIFY_SOURCE GCC flag, StackGuard, and ProPolice, which provide various mechanisms including canary-based detection and range/index…
