## Details

It was discovered that PHP incorrectly handled certain TLS setup failures,
resulting in a NULL pointer dereference. An attacker could possibly use
this issue to cause PHP to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This
issue only affected Ubuntu 26.04 LTS. ([CVE-2026-12184](https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2026-12184))

It was discovered that PHP contained a buffer allocation flaw in the
OpenSSL extension when using the AES-WRAP-PAD algorithm. An attacker could
use this issue to cause PHP to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or
possibly execute arbitrary code. ([CVE-2026-14355](https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2026-14355))

## Update instructions

In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
