#22475 [Com]: Include() not limited in safe mode

ID: 22475 Comment by: ltworf at galileo dot dmi dot unict dot it Reported By: oliver at summertime dot net Status: No Feedback Bug Type: Filesystem function related Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 4.3.0 New Comment: I am using PHP Version 4.4.4-8+etch4 and i am experiencing a similar problem. When i open a file with readfile(), safe mode doesn't allow me to open the file only if it is contained in a directory with a different UID. If the script and the file to open are owned by different users but are located in the same directory, or the file to open is located in a directory owned by the same user of the script, i'll be able to read the file.

The script whose uid is 500 is not allowed to access /etc/passwd owned by uid 0 in /home/httpd/htdocs/i.php on line 4 Warning: Failed opening '/etc/passwd' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/httpd/htdocs/i.php on line 4 I just upgraded to PHP 4.3.0 and the file will be included without any error message! readfile() performs right: Warning: readfile() [function.readfile]: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect.
