Description paul boin 2007-05-07 15:28:03 UTC
Like the other PHP bugs, this one is mentioned in 230556, but not explicitly
closed and documented in any errata that I can find.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The session extension in PHP 4 before 4.4.5, and PHP 5 before 5.2.1, calculates
the reference count for the session variables without considering the internal
pointer from the session globals, which allows context-dependent attackers to
execute arbitrary code via a crafted string in the session_register after
unsetting HTTP_SESSION_VARS and _SESSION, which destroys the session data Hashtable.
