PHP contains a flaw in the "ext/curl" and "ext/gd" modules that may allow a malicious user to view sensitive files without authorization. It is possible that the flaw may allow the attacker to bypass the "safe_mode" or "open_basedir" restrictions. This may allow the disclosure of sensitive information, resulting in a loss of confidentiality.
