php: incorrect php_value order for Apache configuration
Published Dec 17, 2008
7.5
HIGHCVSS 2.0
EPSS 7.31%
Description
PHP 5 before 5.2.7 does not enforce the error_log safe_mode restrictions when safe_mode is enabled through a php_admin_flag setting in httpd.conf, which allows context-dependent attackers to write to arbitrary files by placing a "php_value error_log" entry in a .htaccess file.
