Partial The extension itself is small, but it is a C extension that must hook PHP internals correctly across PHP 5.6 to 8.5, and a security stopgap for a CVE needs expert verification before anyone should deploy it.
What it would actually take: The build is a small C extension that unregisters or neutralizes the session upload-progress handler at MINIT, packaged for Debian/Sury and cPanel/DirectAdmin. The hard part is confirming the fix against the actual vulnerability across many PHP versions without breaking legitimate uploads. That takes a C developer comfortable with PHP internals and someone who can validate the exploit path.
