FKIE_CVE-2007-3007

Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2007-06-04 17:30 - Updated: 2026-06-16 22:40
Severity
Summary
PHP 5 before 5.2.3 does not enforce the open_basedir or safe_mode restriction in certain cases, which allows context-dependent attackers to determine the existence of arbitrary files by checking if the readfile function returns a string. NOTE: this issue might also involve the realpath function.
