CVE-2006-6383 Information

Description

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.
