CVE-2008-5844

PHP 5.2.7 - Unintended magic_quotes_gpc Disabling

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Description

PHP 5.2.7 contains an incorrect change to the FILTER_UNSAFE_RAW functionality, and unintentionally disables magic_quotes_gpc regardless of the actual magic_quotes_gpc setting, which might make it easier for context-dependent attackers to conduct SQL injection attacks and unspecified other attacks.
