Description

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

 - In PHP versions 8.1.* before 8.1.29, 8.2.* before 8.2.20, 8.3.* before 8.3.8, when using Apache and PHP-
 CGI on Windows, if the system is set up to use certain code pages, Windows may use "Best-Fit" behavior to
 replace characters in command line given to Win32 API functions. PHP CGI module may misinterpret those
 characters as PHP options, which may allow a malicious user to pass options to PHP binary being run, and
