=========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

Summary:

Several security issues were fixed in PHP.

Software Description:
- php8.1: HTML-embedded scripting language interpreter
- php7.4: HTML-embedded scripting language interpreter
- php7.2: HTML-embedded scripting language interpreter

Details:

It was discovered that PHP incorrectly handled certain invalid Blowfish
password hashes. An invalid password hash could possibly allow applications
to accept any password as valid, contrary to expectations. (CVE-2023-0567)

It was discovered that PHP incorrectly handled resolving long paths. A
remote attacker could possibly use this issue to obtain or modify sensitive
information. (CVE-2023-0568)

It was discovered that PHP incorrectly handled a large number of parts in
HTTP form uploads. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause
PHP to consume resources, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2023-0662)

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
