Apache HTTP Server Other Vulnerability - CVE-2007-1742

suexec in Apache HTTP Server (httpd) 2.2.3 uses a partial comparison for verifying whether the current directory is within the document root which might allow local users to perform unauthorized operations on incorrect directories as demonstrated using quothtml_backupquot and quothtmleditorquot under an quothtmlquot directory. NOTE: the researcher who is reliable claims that the vendor disputes the issue because quotthe attacks described rely on an insecure server configurationquot in which the user quothas write access to the document root.quot
