Class: VULNERABILITY | Family: windows |
The host is installed with PHP and is prone to security bypass vulnerability. A flaw is present is in the Standard PHP Library (SPL) extension in PHP before 5.3.4, which fails to properly detect symbolic links, i.e. the SplFileInfo::getType() for Symbolic link returns "dir" which in turn should return "link". Successful exploitation allows attackers to conduct symlink attacks by leveraging cross-platform differences in the stat structure due to lack of a FILE_ATTRIBUTE_REPARSE_POINT check.
