Subject: Re: CVE assignment for PHP 5.6.27 and 7.0.12

What about local escalations? They can be used to bypass disable_functions,
a security feature, in PHP.
IMO they should be assigned CVEs so that they can be tacked and back-ported
if desired.

I've came across php distros where these would have been patched, but
didn't because CVE was not assigned and the maintainers were not aware that
it was a security issue.
