The posix_mkfifo function in ext/posix/posix.c in PHP before 5.2.12 and 5.3.x before 5.3.1 allows context-dependent attackers to bypass open_basedir restrictions, and create FIFO files, via the pathname and mode arguments, as demonstrated by creating a .htaccess file.

The tempnam function in ext/standard/file.c in PHP before 5.2.12 and 5.3.x before 5.3.1 allows context-dependent attackers to bypass safe_mode restrictions, and create files in group-writable or world-writable directories, via the dir and prefix arguments.

The php_openssl_apply_verification_policy function in PHP before 5.2.11 does not properly perform certificate validation, which has unknown impact and attack vectors, probably related to an ability to spoof certificates.

Unspecified vulnerability in PHP before 5.2.11, and 5.3.x before 5.3.1, has unknown impact and attack vectors related to "missing sanity checks around exif processing."

Unspecified vulnerability in the imagecolortransparent function in PHP before 5.2.11 has unknown impact and attack vectors related to an incorrect "sanity check for the color index."

The dba_replace function in PHP 5.2.6 and 4.x allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (file truncation) via a key with the NULL byte. NOTE: this might only be a vulnerability in limited circumstances in which the attacker can modify or add database entries but does not have permissions to truncate the file.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in index.php in Aardvark Topsites PHP 5.2.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the q parameter in a search action. NOTE: it was later reported that 5.2.1 is also affected.

index.php in Aardvark Topsites PHP 5.2.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via a nonexistent account name in the u parameter in a rate action, which reveals the installation path in an error message.

index.php in Aardvark Topsites PHP 5.2.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via a negative integer value for the start parameter in a search action, which reveals the installation path in an error message.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in PHP, possibly 5.2.7 and earlier, when display_errors is enabled, allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via unspecified vectors. NOTE: because of the lack of details, it is unclear whether this is related to CVE-2006-0208.
