PHP 5.2.9 cURL - 'Safe_mode' / 'open_basedir' Restriction Bypass

EDB-ID:

32901

CVE:

N/A




Platform:

PHP

Date:

2009-04-10


source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/34475/info

PHP is prone to a 'safe_mode' and 'open_basedir' restriction-bypass vulnerability. Successful exploits could allow an attacker to access files in unauthorized locations.

This vulnerability would be an issue in shared-hosting configurations where multiple users can create and execute arbitrary PHP script code, with the 'safe_mode' and 'open_basedir' restrictions assumed to isolate the users from each other.

PHP 5.2.9 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
