CVE-2013-6501 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The default soap.wsdl_cache_dir setting in (1) php.ini-production and (2) php.ini-development in PHP through 5.6.7 specifies the /tmp directory, which makes it easier for local users to conduct WSDL injection attacks by creating a file under /tmp with a predictable filename that is used by the get_sdl function in ext/soap/php_sdl.c.. EPSS estimates a 0.58% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
