Echo: php-8.1: security update to 8.1.34+e1

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 476629

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- The convert.base64-encode, convert.quoted-printable-encode and convert.quoted-printable-decode stream
filters accept a line-break-chars option whose length is tracked separately from the string itself. The
filter constructors duplicate the value with pestrdup(), which stops at the first NUL byte, while keeping
the original length. When the filter later emits a line break it copies the recorded length out of the
truncated allocation, reading past its end and placing adjacent heap bytes into the filter output.
(CVE-2026-92842)

Solution

Update the php-8.1 library and its related packages to version 8.1.34+e1 or later.
