sys-svc-compose-php

Description

Internal helper role that installs the shared PHP hardening assets on the stack host. PHP services of Docker Compose and Swarm stacks mount them as configs from their own meta/volumes.yml.

Overview

This role installs one PHP ini (FILE_PHP_HARDENING_INI), one interim PHP ini (FILE_PHP_MEMORY_UNLIMITED_INI) and one PHP-FPM pool drop-in (FILE_PHP_FPM_HARDENING_CONF). A PHP role opts in by declaring a type: config entry with that file as source and a file inside the scan dir of its image as target, e.g. conf.d/zz-infinito-hardening.ini or, for the pool, php-fpm.d/zz-infinito-hardening.conf. Only roles whose image still ships a PHP release without the CVE-2026-109618 fix also mount FILE_PHP_MEMORY_UNLIMITED_INI, as conf.d/zz-infinito-memory-unlimited.ini.

Cosmos

The diagram places sys-svc-compose-php in the Infinito.Nexus cosmos: the components it deploys (capabilities), the central services it consumes (dependencies), and its outward reach (federation and bridged external networks).

Solid 1:1 edges are fixed relationships; dashed 0..1 edges are conditional (enabled only in matching deployments); red 0..0 edges are turned off in this role. Node markers show the role’s deploy modes (💻 host, 🐳 compose, 🐝 swarm); ❌ marks a service that is explicitly turned off, and ⚙️ an Ansible role dependency declared in meta/main.yml.

Features

  • PHP ini hardening: expose_php off; session.upload_progress.enabled = 0 and, on PHP 8.5 only, fatal_error_backtraces = 0 against CVE-2026-109619.

  • Interim CVE-2026-109618 mitigation: memory_limit = -1 for images that predate PHP 8.2.35, 8.3.36, 8.4.27 and 8.5.12.

  • PHP-FPM worker recycling: pm.max_requests from PHP_FPM_MAX_REQUESTS for images whose [www] pool reads php-fpm.d/*.conf.
