The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200712-05 (PEAR::MDB2: Information disclosure)
priyadi discovered that the request to store a URL string as a LOB is treated as a request to retrieve and store the contents of the URL.
Impact :
If an application using PEAR::MDB2 allows input of LOB values via a web form, remote attackers could use the application as an indirect proxy or obtain sensitive information, including 'file://' URLs local to the web server.
Workaround :
As a workaround, manually filter input before storing it as a LOB in PEAR::MDB2.
