Description

DeluxeBB 1.07 and earlier allows remote attackers to overwrite the (1) _GET, (2) _POST, (3) _ENV, and (4) _SERVER variables via the _COOKIE (aka COOKIE) variable, which can overwrite the other variables during an extract function call, probably leading to multiple security vulnerabilities, aka "pollution of the global namespace."
