    We are looking into how to prevent php from executing filename.php.jpg files

    per this issue here:

    #11122 (Sanitize filenames with multiple extensions)

    In the :

    /usr/local/apache/conf/php.conf

    Instead of using

    AddType application/x-httpd-php .php4 .php .php3 .php2 .phtml


    Is it prefferiable to do this:?

    <FilesMatch \.php$>
    SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
    </FilesMatch>


    Should this be standardized with cPanel's auto generated php.conf file?

    What set handler are you using on the machine? I tested this on a machine using suPHP and the page called php.php.jpg didn't return the PHP content. As such, have you confirmed this behavior on the newest PHP 5.3 on your machine as happening? You can determine your handler with the following command:

    Code:
    /usr/local/cpanel/bin/rebuild_phpconf --current | grep -i 'php4\|php5'
