Description

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.
