How to fix?

Upgrade Ubuntu:26.10 php8.5 to version 8.5.9-0ubuntu2 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream php8.5 package and not the php8.5 package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:26.10 relevant fixed versions and status.

PHP's OpenSSL stream peer verification checks the certificate's subjectAltName entries first and, whenever no entry matches, falls back to the Common Name. RFC 6125 requires the CN to be ignored once the certificate presents any service identity, so a certificate carrying a non-matching DNS SAN was still accepted when its CN matched the requested peer_name. A certificate trusted by the client for one name can therefore be used to impersonate another.
