Possible Arbitrary Code Execution with Null Bytes (Nginx + PHP)

Hi guys,

Just for your information, there is a security hole that may be
exploited by
malicious users, when PHP and older versions of nginx (0.5., 0.6.,
0.7 <= 0.7.65, 0.8 <= 0.8.37) being used. And it has been widely spread
these
days.

This vulnerability was found by Neal Poole and has been reported to
Igor:

I do agree with Igor that it’s not an issue of Nginx itself, but those
lazy
system administrators should upgrade their Nginx to the latest version
right

now.

Regards,
