Title:	PHP Security Bypass and File Writing Vulnerability (Dec 2008)
Summary:	PHP is prone to a security bypass and file writing vulnerability.
Description:	Summary: PHP is prone to a security bypass and file writing vulnerability. Vulnerability Insight: The flaw is due to: - An error in initialization of 'page_uid' and 'page_gid' global variables for use by the SAPI 'php_getuid' function, which bypass the safe_mode restrictions. - When 'safe_mode' is enabled through a 'php_admin_flag' setting in 'httpd.conf' file, which does not enforce the 'error_log', 'safe_mode restrictions. - In 'ZipArchive::extractTo' function which allows attacker to write files via a ZIP file. Vulnerability Impact: Successful exploitation could allow remote attackers to write arbitrary file, bypass security restrictions and cause directory traversal attacks. Affected Software/OS: PHP versions prior to 5.2.7. Solution: Update to version 5.2.7 or later. CVSS Score: 7.5 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
