#28401 [WFx]: umask is not being restored when each request is finished.

ID: 28401 User updated by: todd at stew dot org Reported By: todd at stew dot org Status: Wont fix Bug Type: Apache2 related Operating System: Redhat 9 and Fedora PHP Version: 4.3.6 New Comment: The docs say: umask() sets PHP's umask to mask & 0777 and returns the old umask. When PHP is being used as a server module, the umask is restored when each request is finished. Using apache 1.3 does not have the same problem. Can you suggest a workaround? adding a auto_prepend_file or an auto_append_file works unless there is another declaration in a .htaccess file, then it does not work. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-05-14 17:24:09] iliaa@php.net Fixing this bug would require adding an internal global to PHP which would break backwards compatibility for binary modules. Consequently this cannot be fixed in 4.3.X tree. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-05-14 16:43:32] todd at stew dot org Description: ------------ The apache child's umask is reset and not restored. This behavior is present in the redhat php-4.2.2-17.2 rpm, my custom install of 4.3.4 and my custom install of 4.3.6 (compiled yesterday). It happens with both apache 2.0.40 and 2.0.48. Reproduce code: --------------- create a cgi file that touches a random filename and lists that file; #!/bin/bash echo "content-type: text/plain" echo touch /tmp/$UNIQUE_ID ls -ald /tmp/$UNIQUE_ID create a php file that sets a umask <? umask(077); ?> Set apache to only spawn one child. hit the cgi file then hit the php file then hit the cgi file. Expected result: ---------------- The umask should not change for the cgi's and should only change for the php script. Actual result: -------------- The umask remains sticky to the apache child. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=28401&edit=1
