Description:
shinnai has discovered a vulnerability in PHP, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to bypass certain access restrictions.
The vulnerability is caused due to PHP incorrectly enforcing access restrictions when handling COM objects. This can be exploited to bypass certain security restrictions (e.g. the "safe_mode" directive) by directly invoking COM methods.
The vulnerability is confirmed in PHP 5.2.4 for Windows. Other Windows versions may also be affected.
