How to fix?

Upgrade Alpine:3.24 php84 to version 8.4.26-r0 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream php84 package and not the php84 package as distributed by Alpine. See How to fix? for Alpine:3.24 relevant fixed versions and status.

php_openssl_matches_wildcard_name() in ext/openssl/xp_ssl.c underflows the length argument passed to memchr() when a TLS server certificate presents a wildcard name whose literal characters are together longer than the hostname being verified. A malicious server presenting such a certificate makes the PHP client read up to SIZE_MAX bytes past the end of a heap allocation. The path is reachable from any default client stream, because verify_peer_name is enabled by default.
