    The PHP vuln advisory is a textbook example of how to do it right. Huge props to them!

    php.net/archive/2026.php#2026-

    Specifically, it details:

    - what went wrong

    - what is and isn't known about who is affected (e.g. for the OOM one, Apache mod_php definitely is, FPM may be but isn't known)

    - what mitigations are available if patching/updating is not possible, and whether they are partial or full

    - sufficient information to roll your own further mitigations if needed (e.g. I think you could setup policies to terminate the process on OOM rather than letting it continue to the vulnerable OOM handler)

    Speaking of mitigations, I suspect there's an easy binary patching one, locating the OOM handling function and (for x86) replacing the first 2 bytes with 0F 0B.
