Technical

This vulnerability is only present when the register_globals PHP option is set to 'on'. This has not been the default setting for PHP installs since version 4.2.0 (22-Apr-2002).

Solution

Currently, there are no known upgrades or patches to correct this issue. It is possible to correct the flaw by implementing the following workaround(s):
1) Set PHP register_globals to Off.
2) Disable warning messages by modifying the following in php.ini: display_errors = Off.
3) Modify the .htaccess file (this will only work on Apache servers).
