How to fix?

Upgrade Alpine:3.5 php5 to version 5.6.24-r0 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream php5 package and not the php5 package as distributed by Alpine. See How to fix? for Alpine:3.5 relevant fixed versions and status.

The bzread function in ext/bz2/bz2.c in PHP before 5.5.38, 5.6.x before 5.6.24, and 7.x before 7.0.9 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write) or execute arbitrary code via a crafted bz2 archive.
