Bug #53597 [NEW]: open_basedir not working as documented
From:
Operating system: Linux
PHP version: 5.3.4
Package: *Directory/Filesystem functions
Bug Type: Bug
Bug description:open_basedir not working as documented
Description:
------------
the php manual in the section "Description of core php.ini directives"
(http://www.php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php, checked on 23-dec-10 11:55
utc)
states:
The restriction specified with open_basedir is actually a prefix, not a
directory name.
this has been so "ever since", but seems now broken at release 5.3.4 -
specifying directory name prefix gives access denied errors, only
specifying complete directory name seems to work.
if the described behaviour is intentional, please fix the documentation
*and note the change in BIG BOLD LETTERS in the release announcement*, or,
better, fix the php-code to behave as documented.
Test script:
---------------
phpmyadmin installed and configured in /u/phpMyAdmin-3.3.8.1-all-languages
entry in /usr/lib/php.ini :
open_basedir = /tmp/:/u/phpMyAdmin:/usr/lib/php/
according to the documentation, this should give access to the phpmyadmin
installation, and used to do so up to php-5.3.3, but now, as of php-5.3.4,
gives an error message
open_basedir restriction in effect.
File(/u/phpMyAdmin-3.3.8.1-all-languages/index.php) is not within the
allowed path(s): (/tmp/:/u/phpMyAdmin:/usr/lib/php/)
it works when changing /usr/lib/php.ini to
open_basedir = /tmp/:/u/phpMyAdmin-3.3.8.1-all-languages:/usr/lib/php/
