Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions cURL library (aka libcurl) in PHP versions 5.2.4 and 5.2.5

Description The issue allows context-dependent attackers to bypass safe mode and open basedir restrictions, enabling them to read arbitrary files. This is achieved via a file:// request that contains a x00 sequence.

Recommendations For PHP version 5.2.4, update to a version that fixes this issue. For PHP version 5.2.5, update to a version that fixes this issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting file:// requests to minimize the risk of exploitation.
