NOTE: this affects different product versions than CVE-2007-3996.

The session extension in PHP before 5.2.4 might allow local users to bypass open_basedir restrictions via a session file that is a symlink.

The wordwrap function in PHP 4 before 4.4.8, and PHP 5 before 5.2.4, does not properly use the breakcharlen variable, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (divide-by-zero error and application crash, or infinite loop) via certain arguments, as demonstrated by a 'chr(0), 0, ""' argument set.

The (1) MySQL and (2) MySQLi extensions in PHP 4 before 4.4.8, and PHP 5 before 5.2.4, allow remote attackers to bypass safe_mode and open_basedir restrictions via MySQL LOCAL INFILE operations, as demonstrated by a query with LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE.

NOTE: this issue does not cross privilege boundaries in most contexts, so perhaps it should not be included in CVE.

Multiple buffer overflows in the php_ntuser component for PHP 5.2.3 allow context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code via long arguments to the (1) ntuser_getuserlist, (2) ntuser_getuserinfo, (3) ntuser_getusergroups, or (4) ntuser_getdomaincontroller functions.
