Use CVE-2014-9427.

Can you clarify what threat models exist that cross privilege
boundaries? Bug #68618 says "could disclose server memory, but anyone
that can upload php scripts can do far worse." Is the only relevant
scenario that the attacker uploads a crafted .php file and thereby
obtains read access (that would otherwise be unavailable) to memory
locations within a parent process?

Or is it relevant that a victim may accidentally upload an
incorrect .php file, and may expect that this is harmless, but the
actual behavior is that PHP reads and executes out-of-bounds data that
the victim did not wish to execute?
