Detailsinfo

This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

cPanel, when compiling Apache 1.3.29 and PHP with the mod_phpsuexec option, does not set the --enable-discard-path option, which causes php to use the SCRIPT_FILENAME variable to find and execute a script instead of the PATH_TRANSLATED variable, which allows local users to execute arbitrary PHP code as other users via a URL that references the attacker s script after the user s script, which executes the attacker s script with the user s privileges, a different vulnerability than CVE-2004-0529.
