Description
ini_modifier (sgid-zendtech) in Zend Platform 2.2.3 and earlier allows local users to modify the system php.ini file by editing a copy of php.ini file using the -f parameter, and then performing a symlink attack using the directory that contains the attacker-controlled php.ini file, and linking this directory to /usr/local/Zend/etc.
