PHP Remote Arbitrary Location File Upload Vulnerability

Reportedly PHP is vulnerable to an arbitrary location file upload vulnerability. This issue is due to a failure of the PHP application to properly sanitize user-supplied file name input.

An attacker may exploit this issue to upload files to an arbitrary location on a computer running the affected software. This may facilitate arbitrary server-side script code execution as well as other attacks.

It is reported that this issue only affects PHP versions 4.2.0 and subsequent.
