• CVSS Severity Rating • Fix Information • Vulnerable Software Versions • SCAP Mappings • CPE Information
Description
PHP, when not configured with the "display_errors = Off" setting in php.ini, allows remote attackers to obtain the physical path for an include file via a trailing slash in a request to a directly accessible PHP program, which modifies the base path, causes the include directive to fail, and produces an error message that contains the path.

Comments (Legacy)
 Christey> Is this another case when PHP leaks path information by design,
   as supported by "display_errors" option?  Then the
   vulnerability (rather, exposure) would be in the use of the 
   display_errors option itself, whose implications may include
   this particular scenario.
