PHP Bug Type:     Scripting Engine problem
Bug description:  GLOBALS array overwritten from GET/POST/COOKIE vars

Description:
------------
With 
register_globals on 
it is possible to overwrite the $GLOBALS array from GET/POST/COOKIE vars.

For example, try the script below:

script.php
(will print the full GLOBALS array)

script.php?GLOBALS[php]=error
(will print a GLOBALS array with just one entry)

_GET, _POST, etc superglobals are no vulnerable.
PHP5 does not exhibit this behaviour.


Reproduce code:
---------------
<a href="script.php?GLOBALS[php]=error">kill GLOBALS</a>

<pre>
<?php

print_r( $GLOBALS );

?>
</pre>


Expected result:
----------------
Full display of GLOBALS array

Actual result:
--------------
GLOBALS array with just one entry
