FKIE_CVE-2008-5625

Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2008-12-17 17:30 - Updated: 2026-06-16 23:00
Severity
Summary
PHP 5 before 5.2.7 does not enforce the error_log safe_mode restrictions when safe_mode is enabled through a php_admin_flag setting in httpd.conf, which allows context-dependent attackers to write to arbitrary files by placing a "php_value error_log" entry in a .htaccess file.
