## Description

The SplFileInfo::getType function in the Standard PHP Library (SPL)
extension in PHP before 5.3.4 on Windows does not properly detect symbolic
links, which might make it easier for local users to conduct symlink
attacks by leveraging cross-platform differences in the stat structure,
related to lack of a FILE\_ATTRIBUTE\_REPARSE\_POINT check.
