Descriptions

PHP 5.2.0 and 4.4 allows local users to bypass safe_mode and open_basedir restrictions via a malicious path and a null byte before a ";" in a session_save_path argument, followed by an allowed path, which causes a parsing inconsistency in which PHP validates the allowed path but sets session.save_path to the malicious path.

PHP 5.2.0 y 4.4 permite a usuarios locales evitar restricciones safe_mode y open_basedir a través de una ruta maliciosa y un byte nulo anterior a ";" en el argumento session_save_path, seguido por una ruta permitida, lo caul provoca una inconsistencia de validación en el cual PHP valida la ruta permitida pero asigna session.save_path a la ruta maliciosa.
