Function dba_replace() are not filtring strings key and value. There
is a possibility the destruction of the file.

This vulnerability exists in 4.x line as well and it is still unpatched.
Had verified it for dba extension from 4.4.9.

According to the revision log,
 
http://cvs.php.net/viewvc.cgi/php-src/ext/dba/libinifile/inifile.c?view=log&pathrev=
there is no fix in the official PHP tree for 4.x yet.
