           Summary: Official PHP5 CGI Bug
        QA Contact: [email protected]
          Severity: normal
    Classification: Contribs
                OS: ---
          Reporter: [email protected]
          Hardware: ---
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
           Version: 7.5
         Component: smeserver-php5-cgi
           Product: SME Contribs

Some systems support a method for supplying a [sic] array of strings to the CGI
script. This is only used in the case of an `indexed' query. This is identified
by a "GET" or "HEAD" HTTP request with a URL search string not containing any
unencoded "=" characters. 
So, requests that do not have a "=" in the query string are treated differently
from those who do in some CGI implementations. For PHP this means that a
request containing ?-s may dump the PHP source code for the page, but a request
that has ?-s&=1 is fine.

A large number of sites run PHP as either an Apache module through mod_php or
using php-fpm under nginx. Neither of these setups are vulnerable to this.
Straight shebang-style CGI also does not appear to be vulnerable.

If you are using Apache mod_cgi to run PHP you may be vulnerable. To see if you
are, just add ?-s to the end of any of your URLs. If you see your source code,
you are vulnerable. If your site renders normally, you are not.

To fix this, update to PHP 5.3.12 or PHP 5.4.2.
