PHP: PHP 8.5.9 Release Announcement

<p>Worth flagging what’s actually in this one, since “security release” alone doesn’t tell you the urgency — this patches a pgsql SQL injection via backslash breakouts and a stack-based out-of-bounds write in bcmath. If you’re on pgsql for your DB layer, this isn’t a “get to it eventually” update. 8.2.33 got the same synchronized patch set too, for anyone still on that branch ahead of its EOL</p>


<p>great we will see such updates even more often with AI revealing security issues</p>
