php is vulnerable to arbitrary file overwrite. The vulnerability exists as an off-by-one flaw was found in PHP. If an attacker uploaded a file with a specially-crafted file name it could cause a PHP script to attempt to write a file to the root (/) directory. By default, PHP runs as the “apache” user, preventing it from writing to the root directory.
