CVE-2006-7243

PHP < 5.3.4 - Path Traversal via Null Byte Injection

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Description

PHP before 5.3.4 accepts the \0 character in a pathname, which might allow context-dependent attackers to bypass intended access restrictions by placing a safe file extension after this character, as demonstrated by .php\0.jpg at the end of the argument to the file_exists function.
