Hi On Debian, the affected php script is deployed as /usr/share/doc/libphp-adodb/examples/test.php.gz and NOT in a browser reachable location: It's not in /usr/share/php/adodb/ with the rest of the library and /usr/share/doc/ is no longer reachable since a long while, if I remember correctly.

So I don't think Debian even qualify as "vulnerable". Sure, if you unzip the example test file and create a reachable script based on that, you will have a problem. Note that fixing the example on which you created your affected script will not immediately save you... I plan to work on packaging 5.20.6 (for sid) tomorrow I guess. Do you still think the update would be nice to have in wheezy-security?
