Name: CVE-2011-3707
URL: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2011-3707
Assigned: 20110923
Reference: http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2011/06/27/6

JanRain PHP OpenID library (aka php-openid) 2.2.2 allows remote
attackers to obtain sensitive information via a direct request to a
.php file, which reveals the installation path in an error message, as
demonstrated by Auth/Yadis/Yadis.php and certain other files.

Comment 1 Vincent Danen 2011-09-26 17:43:13 UTC
Created php-pear-Auth-OpenID tracking bugs for this issue

Affects: fedora-all [bug 741383]

Comment 2 Kurt Seifried 2011-09-26 18:18:28 UTC
NOTABUG: The Fedora packages install php-pear-Auth-OpenID to /usr/share/pear/Auth_OpenID/ outside the webroot and there is no mapping/etc. to expose that directory.

Also it appears this bug was originally reported by yehg.net to Google, Yehg sources:

http://yehg.net/lab/pr0js/advisories/path_disclosure/vanilla-2.0.16
http://yehg.net/lab/pr0js/advisories/path_disclosure/statusnet-0.9.6

indicate that some PHP apps ship a static copy of php-pear-Auth-OpenID within their files and expose them within the webroot.
