Could anyone check it? And I would like to open this report since shane@caraveo.com is willing to write patch for this :) Could you change Category to Apache problem after checking doc in source?

Meanwhile, I've submitted a quick patch to cvs. Working right now on a full patch.

(Not yet?) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-02-28 06:28:04] paul@whichone.net Actually, this exploit allows anyone to gain root access to the Machine and so the severity should be ugraded to High. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-01-06 02:12:42] pbtech@cornell.edu Report yesterday (4 Jan 02) at http://www.securiteam.com/windowsntfocus/5ZP030U60U.html outlines the security hole. I have tested it on NT4, Apache 1.3.9, PHP 4.0.4 and then upgraded to NT4, Apache 1.3.22, PHP 4.1.1 and the problem remains. I've been monitoring the PHP newsgroups (announcements and Windows user lists) since the vulnerability was announced and searched the buglist but haven't found mention of it anywhere. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=14883&edit=1
