patch available.

  - In PHP versions 8.3.* before 8.3.19 and 8.4.* before 8.4.5, a code sequence involving __set handler or ??=
    operator and exceptions can lead to a use-after-free vulnerability. If the third party can control the
    memory layout leading to this, for example by supplying specially crafted inputs to the script, it could
    lead to remote code execution. (CVE-2024-11235)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
