[Full-Disclosure] Re: php-exec-dir vulnerable after latest upgrade

["C. McCohy" <mccohy@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

So, finally I have identified the problem, which was in fact, that the
construction used for calling a command via the backtick operator did not
use the php_escape_shell_cmd() internal function, which escapes some
'ugly/unwanted' characters, like '&', ';', '|' and others. This function
is already used if the command is called via exec(), system() or popen()
functions, so these were not vulnerable.

New patches for all versions are available on the project homepage
