CVE-2008-5625
PHP 5 before 5.2.7 does not enforce the error_log safe_mode restrictions when safe_mode is enabled through a php_admin_flag setting in httpd.conf, which allows context-dependent attackers to write to arbitrary files by placing a "php_value error_log"…
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (7.31%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
