Bug #79363 \p{L} doesn't work alongside \p{Arabic} in a character class

Description:
------------
I ran the following code in both PHP 7.2.28 and PHP 7.4.3. The output of PHP 7.4.3 is wrong. Basically, adding a \p{Arabic} after \p{L} seems to causes \p{L} to match uppercases and spaces, instead of letters.

Test script:
---------------
$str = 'lower UPPER';
echo(preg_replace('/[\p{L}\p{Arabic}]/', '0', $str));
echo "\n";
echo(preg_replace('/[^\p{L}\p{Arabic}]/', '0', $str));
echo "\n";


Expected result:
----------------
00000 00000
lower0UPPER


Actual result:
--------------
lower000000
00000 UPPER

There is a related bug report in pcre:
https://bugs.exim.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2432
The bug's status is new, but it is mentioned that it was fixed in 10.34.
I hope the next PHP version will fix it. There can be some additional tests to check.
Note: the preg works with (*NO_JIT).

Indeed, this is not a bug in PHP, but rather in libpcre.  In
libpcre 10.34, the behavior has been improved, but is still not
quite right (with JIT enabled):

00000000000
lower UPPER

PCRE 10.35 is released with the bug being fixed. But it is not still used in PHP 7.4 branch. So I believe this issue is now a PHP bug and should be reopened. Any plan to fix?

The master branch has just been updated to PCRE2 10.35, so that
will be available as of PHP 8.0.0alpha2.

Updating for PHP 7.4 will be considered at the earliest in several
weeks; for the time being I'm suspending this ticket.

Hello again.
I have tested the following in 2 builds of PHP-7.4.14, one from Ubuntu 18.04 repository and another one build with phpbrew. Unfortunately the results are different. I think phpbrew is correct.

Test script:
------------
echo(preg_replace('/[^\p{L}\p{Arabic}]/', '0', '<->'));

Expected result (phpbrew):
------------
000

Actual result (ubuntu):
-----------------------
<->


Should this be opened again or it needs to be reported elsewhere?

What's the value of PCRE_VERSION in both environments?
 [2021-01-30 13:24 UTC] halaeiv at gmail dot com 
PCRE_VERSION in both is the same:
10.35 2020-05-09

Thanks for the swift reply!  It seems that Ubuntu didn't backport
the fix for bug #79846[1].

So is it going to be fixed in 7.4.15? If it isn't related to php-src, do you know where should it be reported? I have absolutely no idea about the build process or why they use a different version of pcre or anything than the one they should use.

Thanks for your help.
