CVE-2007-1710 Information

Description

The readfile function in PHP 4.4.4 5.1.6 and 5.2.1 allows context-dependent attackers to bypass safe_mode restrictions and read arbitrary files by referring to local files with a certain URL syntax instead of a pathname syntax as demonstrated by a filename preceded a \php://../../\ sequence.
