Alpine: php7: security update to 7.2.8-r0

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 406331

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities referenced in the following CVEs:

- An issue was discovered in PHP 7.3.x before 7.3.0alpha3, 7.2.x before 7.2.8, and before 7.1.20. The php-
fpm master process restarts a child process in an endless loop when using program execution functions
(e.g., passthru, exec, shell_exec, or system) with a non-blocking STDIN stream, causing this master
process to consume 100% of the CPU, and consume disk space with a large volume of error logs, as
demonstrated by an attack by a customer of a shared-hosting facility. (CVE-2015-9253)

- exif_read_from_impl in ext/exif/exif.c in PHP 7.2.x through 7.2.7 allows attackers to trigger a use-after-
free (in exif_read_from_file) because it closes a stream that it is not responsible for closing. The
vulnerable code is reachable through the PHP exif_read_data function. (CVE-2018-12882)

- exif_process_IFD_in_MAKERNOTE in ext/exif/exif.c in PHP before 5.6.37, 7.0.x before 7.0.31, 7.1.x before
7.1.20, and 7.2.x before 7.2.8 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read
and application crash) via a crafted JPEG file. (CVE-2018-14851)
