CWE-264  (opens in a new tab)

Upgrade php to version 4.4.7 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Access Restriction Bypass. The compress.bzip2:// URL wrapper provided by the bz2 extension in PHP before 4.4.7, and 5.x before 5.2.2, does not implement safemode or open_basedir checks, which allows remote attackers to read bzip2 archives located outside of the intended directories.
