DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been discovered in mPDF, which can be exploited
by malicious people to disclose sensitive information.

Input passed to the "filename" parameter in examples/show_code.php is
not properly verified before being used to return file contents within
a PDF document. This can be exploited to disclose arbitrary files from
local resources via directory traversal attacks.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 5.3. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Remove the "examples" directory.
