znirkel reports:

The eval() function in _reset_post_array crashes when posting certain data. By passing in carefully-crafted input data, the eval() function could also execute malicious PHP code.

Note that CodeIgniter applications that either do not use the new Form Validation class or use the old Validation class are not affected by this vulnerability.
