The imap_header function in the IMAP functionality for PHP before 4.3.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via an e-mail message with a large number of "To" addresses, which triggers an error in the rfc822_write_address function.

php.exe in PHP 3.0 through 4.2.2, when running on Apache, does not terminate properly, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a direct request without arguments.

move_uploaded_file in PHP does not does not check for the base directory (open_basedir), which could allow remote attackers to upload files to unintended locations on the system.

Safe Mode feature (safe_mode) in PHP 3.0 through 4.1.0 allows attackers with access to the MySQL database to bypass Safe Mode access restrictions and read arbitrary files using "LOAD DATA INFILE LOCAL" SQL statements.

The file upload capability in PHP versions 3 and 4 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files by setting hidden form fields whose names match the names of internal PHP script variables.

PHP3 with safe_mode enabled does not properly filter shell metacharacters from commands that are executed by popen, which could allow remote attackers to execute commands.
