PHP versions 7.3.31, 7.4.24, and 8.0.11

PHP versions 7.3.31, 7.4.24, and 8.0.11 are released with several bug fixes and a security fix.

All of these versions fix a security vulnerability (CVE-2021-21706) in the Zip extension.

Prior to this fix, ZipArchive::extractTo method may extract a Zip archive outside the destination directory under certain file path names in Windows systems. This bug is now fixed in all current supported PHP versions.

Along with the security fix, PHP 7.3.31, 7.4.24, and 8.0.11 also fix several bugs. See the changelog for the list of changes.

The latest releases are available from the PHP git repository, Docker images, and repositories for Ubuntu, Fedora, etc. Compiled Windows binaries are also at windows.php.net
