Several issues in php5 have been fixed to avoid access to illegal memory.

CVE-2019-9022: An issue during parsing of DNS responses allows a hostile DNS server to misuse memcpy, which leads to a read operation past an allocated buffer.

CVE-2018-1000888: Fix for a PHP object injection vulnerability in the PEAR Archive_tar code, potentially allowing a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code.

CVE-2018-20783: buffer over-read in PHAR reading functions may give an attacker access to memory past the actual data when trying to parse a .phar file



For Debian 7 Wheezy, these problems have been fixed in version 5.4.45-0+deb7u19.

We recommend that you upgrade your php5 packages.
