CVE-2009-4018
Last modified
CVE-2009-4018 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The proc_open function in ext/standard/proc_open.c in PHP before 5.2.11 and 5.3.x before 5.3.1 does not enforce the (1) safe_mode_allowed_env_vars and (2) safe_mode_protected_env_vars directives, which allows context-dependent attackers to execute programs with an arbitrary environment via the env parameter, as demonstrated by a crafted value of the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.. EPSS estimates a 11.34% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
