Subject: Re: Wordpress <=2.0.2 'cache' shell injection


while doing some work using php, i found something interesting which  
possibbly can be use to exploit this kind of bug. Instead of injecting  
carriage return chr(0x13) you can also inject php terminate code( ?> ) to  
stop one line comment (// or #) in php (tested on 5.1.4 on windows).

ex:

<?
// asdasdasdbabsdbabsdbasbd ?><?phpinfo();?><?
?>
