Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 security vulnerability.
1) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2006-7243)
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to manipulate data.
PHP before 5.3.4 accepts the character in a pathname, which might allow context-dependent attackers to bypass intended access restrictions by placing a safe file extension after this character, as demonstrated by .php .jpg at the end of the argument to the file_exists function.
Remediation
Install update from vendor's website.
