** Description changed:

+ [ Impact ]
+ 
+ The fpm_get_status() calls are broken: the result is a segfault, due to a 
malformed patch applied in 8.3.6-0ubuntu0.24.04.7 to fix LP 2130569, making 
this a regression.
+ The fix is bringing in the proper patch, as applied to php-src upstream.
+ 
+ [ Test Plan ]
+ 
+ On a fresh noble machine:
+ - install `php`, `php-fpm` and `nginx`
+ - configure nginx to serve php content via fpm
+ - create a test.php file with 
+ ```
+ <?php
+ print_r(fpm_get_status());
+ ```
+ - curl localhost/test.php
+ - see the 502 Bad Gateway error, and check /var/crash for the segfault being 
present
+ 
+ For the fix:
+ - install the `php` and `php-fpm` packages from -proposed
+ - curl localhost/test.php
+ - See the results on screen
+ - See no crash was produced in /var/crash
+ 
+ [ Where problems could occur ]
+ 
+ - Last time a fix was attempted, there was a mismatch between the commit
+ referenced in the patch header (which is correct) and the contents,
+ which were taken from a WIP commit. That mistake (I unfortunately
+ made...) slipped in through all reviews and ended up in this regression.
+ Making sure the content matches the commit this time will avoid this
+ happening again.
+ 
+ - The test plan is clean and straightforward, but of course it does not
+ cover all the fpm-related functionality. We believe these fixes won't
+ cause more trouble as upstream has exactly this code applied right now,
+ and the backport applies and works cleanly. If something else goes
+ wrong, users will perceive it and report bugs, which would need further
+ investigation again. DEP8 is our friend here, at least giving a sign
+ that the code works as expected.

  After updating php8.3-fpm:amd64...
-  from 8.3.6-0ubuntu0.24.04.6
-    to 8.3.6-0ubuntu0.24.04.7
+  from 8.3.6-0ubuntu0.24.04.6
+    to 8.3.6-0ubuntu0.24.04.7
  ...yesterday on my Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS server, calling `fpm_get_status()` 
crashes the FPM reproducibly.
  
  I noticed this because I run a nextcloud and my monitoring checks the
  `serverinfo` API endpoint, which - amongst other things - calls that
  function. I've manually verified that this function call causes the
  crash by creating a php file with following contents:
  
  ```
  <?php
  print_r(fpm_get_status());
  ```
  
  ...and then calling it through nginx.
  
  To reproduce, I've checked on another 24.04 LTS box with nginx installed:
  - apt install php-fpm
  - I created /var/www/html/test.php with the same test call as above
  - opening that page in a browser or with cURL has nginx throw a 502 Bad 
Gateway and you can see a log entry in the FPM error log:
  
  [16-Mar-2026 12:56:17] WARNING: [pool www] child 1427132 exited on
  signal 11 (SIGSEGV - core dumped) after 0.200238 seconds from start
  
  Also, `/var/crash/_usr_sbin_php-fpm8.3.33.crash` is being created.
