Regarding the #PHP2Shell crisis, it seems like a lot of containers use Alpine Linux :alpine: (npub1cml…cwhf) as a base (for size, mainly), and right now #PHP 8.4 was last built a month ago: https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/packages?name=php84&branch=v3.24&repo=&arch=&origin=&flagged=&maintainer=
Does anyone have any insight into what's going on with alpine/containers? Debian seems well cared-for, in particular those that use Ondřej Surý's backports, but a vast number of sites use docker/k8s/etc!
