DESCRIPTION:
nst has reported a vulnerability in PHP Advanced Transfer Manager,
which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to compromise
a vulnerable system.

The vulnerability is caused due to an error in the handling of file
uploads where a filename has multiple file extensions. This can be
exploited to upload malicious script files inside the web root.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of script code depending
on the HTTP server configuration (it requires e.g. an Apache server
with the "mod_mime" and "mod_php" modules installed).

The vulnerability has been reported in version 1.21. Other versions
may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that uploaded files are properly
validated.
