Julien ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-03-19 19:48:56] valentiny510 at yahoo dot es After 10 years, with removed safe_mode, guys please just close many of old Bugs/Requests like this or simple add a new status like DEPRECATED.. or change something.. 10 Years.. cmon - - - I remember a man who made an appointment with the doctor and 6-7 years after his death his widow received a letter saying that they canceled the appointment. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-04-20 12:53:41] php at cabillot dot eu To the php team : what do you think about this feature ? Now that safe_mode is disabled, how hosting companies can protect consumers from themselves ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-09-23 13:49:42] derbubi at gmx dot net A Patch for this problem is available here: http://kyberdigi.cz/projects/execdir/english.html This Option would be very nice, even if it decreases performance (if this decrease is optional) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-10-29 05:23:31] roman at compic dot ee Description: ------------ By bow we have safe_mode_exec_dir working (and good) for shared hosting, only if SAFE_MODE enabled. But often, SAFE_MODE need to be turned off. After this safe_mode_exec_dir is nothing. So we need to disable some funtions (system,passthru,...). But it can be done only for _ALL_ hosts. So if one host use "system()" in "safe_mode 1" to one or two special programs and happy - i can't turn SAFE_MODE 0 for other hosts. It's became realy danger - sometimes users have unsecure scripts and by using 'blah.php?f=http://somethere...' intruder can get nobody shell. Nobody shell mean - He can read mysql password in config.php or settings.php files. He also can install blindshell. So maybe good to add 'exec_dir' variable for working in 'safe_mode 0' ? Reproduce code: --------------- none needed ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=26026&edit=1
