Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, was found in PHP (Programming Language Software). This affects some unknown functionality of the file rfc1867.c of the component File Upload. The manipulation of the argument _FILES with an unknown input leads to a input validation vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-20. The product receives input or data, but it does not validate or incorrectly validates that the input has the properties that are required to process the data safely and correctly. This is going to have an impact on integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

The file-upload implementation in rfc1867.c in PHP before 5.4.0 does not properly handle invalid [ (open square bracket) characters in name values, which makes it easier for remote attackers to cause a denial of service (malformed $_FILES indexes) or conduct directory traversal attacks during multi-file uploads by leveraging a script that lacks its own filename restrictions.
