Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 security vulnerability.


1) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2005-3054)

The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to sensitive information.

fopen_wrappers.c in PHP 4.4.0, and possibly other versions, does not properly restrict access to other directories when the open_basedir directive includes a trailing slash, which allows PHP scripts in one directory to access files in other directories whose names are substrings of the original directory.


Remediation

Install update from vendor's website.
