CVE-2026-109619
PHP contains various global state, such as error, session, object and extension state that is retained by a worker but points to memory owned by one request. That state must be reset before the request memory is released. Some input, configuration, session and error handling operations run before normal initialization of the next request. They inadvertently access stale state not reset by the previous request before initialization has a chance to replace it, causing a use after free. A strategically crafted heap layout can produce full remote code execution (RCE).
CVE-2026-109618
PHP uses longjmp() for out-of-memory (OOM) errors to exit the current context and abort handling of the request. In some contexts, request memory is temporarily reachable before it is fully initialized. If any allocation fails at that point, PHP does not properly account for the early exit and leaves the request memory in an invalid state. The failed allocation does not need to be related to the invalid memory. The request shutdown procedure may then read or branch on it. Multiple OOM strategies can consistently trigger this condition and lead to remote code execution (RCE).
