Details:

USN-3646-1 fixed a vulnerability in PHP. This update provides
the corresponding update for Ubuntu 12.04 ESM.

Original advisory details:

 It was discovered that PHP incorrectly handled opcache access controls
 when configured to use PHP-FPM. A local user could possibly use this
 issue to obtain sensitive information from another user's PHP
 applications. (CVE-2018-10545)

 It was discovered that the PHP PHAR error pages incorrectly filtered
 certain data. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to
 perform a reflected XSS attack. (CVE-2018-10547)

 remote LDAP server could possibly use this issue to cause PHP to
 crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2018-10548)

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 12.04 ESM:
