I am not specifically familiar with Horde, but this looks like a failure 
of whatever Horde uses to run, e.g. php-fpm or mod_php. A common reason 
for this specific sort of failure is if you have different versions of 
PHP present and the loader manages to select conflicting versions of 
libraries

Nothing in the Apache httpd 2.4.58->59 update itself is likely to cause 
trouble per se, but because it is a highly modular program with optional 
modules linking at run time, you can have mismatches between the core 
software and modules like mod_php.
