Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream php-common package and not the php-common package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

In PHP versions 7.4.x below 7.4.30, 8.0.x below 8.0.20, and 8.1.x below 8.1.7, when using Postgres database extension, supplying invalid parameters to the parametrized query may lead to PHP attempting to free memory using uninitialized data as pointers. This could lead to RCE vulnerability or denial of service.
