The Alma blog post (https://almalinux.org/blog/2026-10-21-php2shell-cve-2026-109618-cve-2026-109619/) lists the package versions with the fixes (quote below).

Check the package versions and eventually update:

AlmaLinux 8

    php:7.2 stream: php-7.2.24-1.module_el8.10.0+4315+7b734bf3.alma.1
    php:7.3 stream: php-7.3.20-1.module_el8.10.0+4316+90ea5fe5.alma.1
    php:7.4 stream: php-7.4.33-8.module_el8.10.0+4321+cf5fd4bb (Red Hat’s update, released directly to production)
    php:8.0 stream: php-8.0.30-1.module_el8.10.0+4319+26f10322.alma.1
    php:8.2 stream: php-8.2.33-1.module_el8.10.0+4320+c30d6dbb.alma.1

AlmaLinux 9

    Default (PHP 8.0): php-8.0.30-8.el9_8.alma.1
    php:8.1 stream: php-8.1.32-1.module_el9.8.0+326+528679fc.alma.1
    php:8.2 stream: php-8.2.33-1.module_el9.8.0+327+37dfd4b4.alma.1
    php:8.3 stream: php-8.3.33-1.module_el9.8.0+328+1fdeb728.alma.1

AlmaLinux 10

    Default (PHP 8.3): php-8.3.33-1.el10_2.alma.1
    PHP 8.4 (php8.4 packages): php8.4-8.4.24-1.el10_2.alma.1

AlmaLinux Kitten 10

    The fix will ride along in the next regular PHP update, so no separate build is being made.
