CVE-2009-3558

Publication date 23 November 2009

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Medium

Why this priority?

The posix_mkfifo function in ext/posix/posix.c in PHP before 5.2.12 and 5.3.x before 5.3.1 allows context-dependent attackers to bypass open_basedir restrictions, and create FIFO files, via the pathname and mode arguments, as demonstrated by creating a .htaccess file.
