Comment (by tereshchenko):

 Yep, that is fix for my problem only :-)

 Then again, thinking of original issue - looks like such situation
 possible only when $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] is empty string. In this case
 the result of the function will be updated=true and this will be treated
 as a file in /wp-admin/ directory.
 So to fix this either users should trash their incompetent firewalls, or
 whitelist their own website, or WordPress shouldn't rely on referer in
 such redirects.
