New patch, attached to bug report, should fix both problems.

I'm going to commit it tomorrow, if no objections.


Thanks. Dmitry.

keys

hi,


I've solved one of the problems described at 
https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=69090

The patch and explanation are attached to bug report.

Please, review.


Julien, Anatol, Joe, are you OK to commit this into 5.6 and above?


I'm going to think about the second problem.


Thanks. Dmitry.

Dmitry,

Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions. Time allowing,
I'll be taking a closer look at the code this weekend. I do have a
couple of quick comments, see below:

FPM with separate user pools under a single master is affected by the
permissions bypass issue. To avoid the issue, separate user pools isn't
sufficient; you would need separate FPM master daemons.

Many users read about the ability to run separate pools with separate
users under a single master and think this provides adequate user
separation:
http://php.net/manual/en/install.fpm.configuration.php

But when OPCache is enabled, the user pools under a single master all
share a common cache, with disastrous results if a single user is
compromised.

Unfortunately this is the way the popular shared hosting control panels
have started implementing FPM: with a single master.

Was "single master, multiple pools with separate users" not intended for
a shared hosting environment? If not, what is the point of the 'user'
and 'chroot' directives? Were shared hosts using FPM always expected to
use separate FPM master daemons? If so, the documentation might be more
explicit IMHO (I'd be willing to put in some work here if you feel a
documentation fix is what's needed).

Yes! This is exactly my concern. And you're absolutely right, a check of
access() at script compile time is a better solution than my patch. I
think it should be the default behavior though.

I'm starting to think I should have opened a separate bug for the
permissions bypass issue and the chroot filename collision; in the
bug tracker users were already lumping these issues together but they're
really separate concerns.

Off-list I'm going to send you a proof of concept script which
demonstrates the problem with a typical FPM/OPCache deployment in a
shared environment.
