HTTP: PHP File Upload Implementation Denial Of Service
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in the PHP. A successful attack can lead to denial of service.
Extended Description
The file-upload implementation in rfc1867.c in PHP before 5.4.0 does not properly handle invalid [ (open square bracket) characters in name values, which makes it easier for remote attackers to cause a denial of service (malformed $_FILES indexes) or conduct directory traversal attacks during multi-file uploads by leveraging a script that lacks its own filename restrictions.
