Summary

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.
