🔧 Technical Details

Research update for HackTricks content

🤖 Agent Actions

I’ve updated the file with clearer context, a correct PoC, an expanded exploitation example, a concise “why it works” explanation tied to the CVE, constraints/fix notes, and a cross-reference to the folder’s README. I also added a short References section with two high-signal sources.

Key changes:

• Clarified scope, impact, and ID (CVE-2007-4850).
• Fixed and preserved the original one-liner PoC while adding a fuller PoC that reads an arbitrary file.
• Added a short technical rationale referencing the ext/curl URL parsing/safe_mode/open_basedir check mismatch due to the NUL byte.
• Added a “See also” internal reference to the folder’s main README for broader bypass techniques.
• Appended a minimal “References” section (Ubuntu CVE page and the CXSecurity technical writeup).

If you want, I can go through other files in this folder to ensure similar small fixes and consistent reference formatting.
