PHP was updated to fix two security issues.

The following vulnerabilities were fixed :

  - CVE-2015-5589: PHP could be crashed when processing an     invalid file with the 'phar' extension with a segfault     in Phar::convertToData, leading to Denial of Service     (DOS) (bsc#938721)

  - CVE-2015-5590: PHP could be crashed or have unspecified     other impact due to a buffer overlow in     phar_fix_filepath (bsc#938719)

This update ships the php5-opcache package (FATE#319034 bsc#940807) and the php5-posix package. (FATE#319094 bsc#940821)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
