That's my guess - I'm not sure as I haven't verified this myself due to 
time constraints. There's a little discussion about a form upload 
vulnerability and a single hit for "exploit" at bugs.php.net. From what 
I found in the PHP newsgroups, it looks like setting file_uploads=0 in 
your php.ini file blocks this.
