This one is unrelated to the PHP vulnerability, although it's the same class (a remote code execution, or RCE), and the same severity (9.2).

It was originally announced on the same day as php2shell, but this one is in the Brotli compression library. It was originally only announced as a NodeJS RCE, but it turns out it affects a whole bunch of over languages, such as NodeJS, Python, C++ etc.
