Re: [Full-disclosure] Critical PHP bug - act ASAP if you are running web with sensitive data




I very much doubt there are many applications at all containing code like this. It is illogical to be decoding html entities from user input. Therefore I would not call this a "very serious problem" and certainly not a critical bug.

Somewhat I agree. I suspected this may affect more functions that only this one and was very alarmed. I never digged around in PHP source and was not able to verify it fast. So if PHP developer says, it is affects only on function, this is fine.

There are application which are known to use it. Like http://www.phpmyfaq.de/, so I attacker may use social engineering easily to gain access to such feature.

I am security auditor and 90% cases I get to goal combining using bunch of 
small, useless problems. Sorry if you do not see problem.

EOD :).
