FKIE_CVE-2009-3559
Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2009-11-23 17:30 - Updated: 2026-06-16 23:11
Severity
Summary
main/streams/plain_wrapper.c in PHP 5.3.x before 5.3.1 does not recognize the safe_mode_include_dir directive, which allows context-dependent attackers to have an unknown impact by triggering the failure of PHP scripts that perform include or require operations, as demonstrated by a script that attempts to perform a require_once on a file in a standard library directory. NOTE: a reliable third party reports that this is not a vulnerability, because it results in a more restrictive security policy.
