Use CVE-2015-5946 for the original incomplete blacklist vulnerability
in which an authenticated attacker could, at any time, upload an
executable file (such as a phtml file) to a location from which the
web server serves files.
The blacklist was:
'php', 'php3', 'php4', 'php5', 'pl', 'cgi', 'py',
'asp', 'cfm', 'js', 'vbs', 'html', 'htm'
Use CVE-2015-5947 for the other original issue in which the:
if(!verify_uploaded_image
code block does not attempt to restrict access after an "unverified"
file is detected. CVE-2015-5946 and CVE-2015-5947 seem to be
independently relevant, although possibly that depends on the "Found
{$m[0]} in $path, not allowing upload" code.

Use CVE-2015-5948 for the race condition that exists because of the
incomplete fix for CVE-2015-5947.

There is no CVE ID specifically for the concept of using blacklisting
rather than whitelisting. In practice, a large blacklist can be
constructed that results in a negligible chance that an allowed file
would be executable on a customer system with a realistic
configuration. This may be considered an unrecommended or overly risky
design, but the issue is not included in CVE.

There is no CVE ID specifically for the concept of using a temporary
directory that is web accessible. The same directory could be used,
without the race condition, in a number of ways -- possibly including
renaming files before initial storage, or some type of access control
for the directory. A web-accessible temporary directory is sometimes
unavoidable if the goal is to support installation in the widest
possible set of web-hosting environments.
