PHP CGI SAPI Code Execution Vulnerability

The PHP CGI SAPI contains an unspecified bug that renders options for preventing direct access to the CGI binary useless. The configuratin option '--enable-force-cgi-redirect' and the php.ini option 'cgi.force_redirect' could be disabled by this bug, allowing an attacker to gain access to any file readable by the webserver user. Arbitrary PHP code could also be executed.
