Official upgrade to PHP 5.5.12, or backport of upstream bug-fix?

Asked by Richard J. Turner on 2014-05-19

I recently ran afoul of PHP bug https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=66987, which causes a segfault when deallocating resources having used Fileinfo. This effectively makes Fileinfo useless.

I upgraded PHP to v5.5.12 using Ondrej's PPA, which includes a fix, but can the fix be backported to the official packages? Or is that against the Ubuntu packaging policy?
