PHP Bug Type:     Session related
Bug description:  Random SESSION-ID given in URL is accepted for the session

Description:
------------
Normally PHP is using some clever algorithms to provide for safe and
unique SESSION-IDs. However, when a simple session-id is passed to the
script in which session_start() is called, a session with the given ID is
generated.

e.g.: www.test.com/index.php&PHPSESSID=blabla

should not be accepted and a new SESSION-ID should be generated for the
session. BUT: this session-ID (blabla) is obviously valid and not
rejected.

Functionality is not impaired, but right now a visitor is able to "choose"
his own session-id. Not very safe, right?

I have disabled cookies and turned off trans-sid.

Ciao,
Dan.
