Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2012-05-11 10:15 - Updated: 2026-06-16 23:41
Severity
Summary
php-wrapper.fcgi does not properly handle command-line arguments, which allows remote attackers to bypass a protection mechanism in PHP 5.3.12 and 5.4.2 and execute arbitrary code by leveraging improper interaction between the PHP sapi/cgi/cgi_main.c component and a query string beginning with a +- sequence.
