Description
In PHP versions 8.1.* before 8.1.29, 8.2.* before 8.2.20, 8.3.* before 8.3.8, when using Apache and PHP-CGI on Windows, if the system is set up to use certain code pages, Windows may use "Best-Fit" behavior to replace characters in command line given to Win32 API functions. PHP CGI module may misinterpret those characters as PHP options, which may allow a malicious user to pass options to PHP binary being run, and thus reveal the source code of scripts, run arbitrary PHP code on the server, etc.
Affected configurations
• php php (>= 8.1.0 < 8.1.29)
• php php (>= 8.2.0 < 8.2.20)
• php php (>= 8.3.0 < 8.3.8)
• fedoraproject fedora 39
• fedoraproject fedora 40
