Original NVD description (English source)

The "Upload new image" command in the "Manage Images" eFiction 1.1, when members are allowed to upload images, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code by uploading a filename with a .php extension that contains a GIF header, which passes the image validity check but executes any PHP code within the file.
