Severity: Normal
Title: phpDocumentor: Function call injection
Date: November 11, 2011
Bugs: #213318
ID: 201111-04
phpDocumentor bundles Smarty which contains an input sanitation flaw,
allowing attackers to call arbitrary PHP functions.
The phpDocumentor package provides automatic documenting of PHP API
directly from the source.

1 dev-php/PEAR-PhpDocumentor
< 1.4.3-r1 >= 1.4.3-r1
phpDocumentor bundles Smarty with the modifier.regex_replace.php
plug-in which does not properly sanitize input related to the ASCII NUL
character in a search string.
A remote attacker could call arbitrary PHP functions via templates.
There is no known workaround at this time.
All phpDocumentor users should upgrade to the latest stable version:
