If you applied it + then, keep it in place and no further action is needed. + </p> + <p> + The issue can only occur under an unusual combination of configuration and + application code. An application must set + <code>session.serialize_handler</code> to <code>php_binary</code> or + <code>php_serialize</code> in its configuration and then switch it to + <code>php</code> at runtime with <code>ini_set()</code> before calling + <code>session_start()</code>. Session upload progress must also still be + enabled. Applications that never change the serialize handler at runtime can + keep the feature enabled. Since this setup is unlikely in practice, we are + handling it in the regular release cycle and will publish a full advisory for + CVE-2026-115560 with the next release. + </p> + </div> + </content> +</entry>
