Bug description: Concerning ini_set session.save_path & reregistering an id under windows.
Description:
------------
Hello,
While developing a new security fix for a script I am working on, I found
this issue corrisponding with Windows 2000 NT, which causes the sessions
to not reregister a id if the ini_set redefines teh session.save_path to a
relitive location.
The following code when used in the windows environment will cause the
error which follows:
[CODE]<?php
define("_PATH_TMP", "./tmp");
ini_set('session.save_path', _PATH_TMP);
session_start();
$_SESSION['sid']['obsolete'] = session_id();
session_regenerate_id();
$_SESSION['sid']['replaced'] = session_id();
?>
[/CODE]
[ERROR]Warning: Unknown: open(./tmp\sess_3c0fe03c61bac80ca57a1193d3e54aa8,
O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in Unknown on line 0
Warning: Unknown: Failed to write session data (files). Please verify that
the current setting of session.save_path is correct (./tmp) in Unknown on
line 0
[/ERROR]
Of course I have takin the proper precautions to be sure the directory
existed in the first place... of course, if I dont re-define the the
session.save_path, and use the default, it gets created secessfully, like
as follows:
[CODE]
<?php
session_start();
$_SESSION['sid']['obsolete'] = session_id();
session_regenerate_id();
$_SESSION['sid']['replaced'] = session_id();
print_r($_SESSION);
?>
[/CODE]
Now, ill take it another step further, I tried using an exact file
location when I defined the session.save_path like so:
[CODE]
<?php
define("_PATH_TMP", "X:/dir/to/my/tmp");
ini_set('session.save_path', _PATH_TMP);
session_start();
$_SESSION['sid']['obsolete'] = session_id();
session_regenerate_id();
$_SESSION['sid']['replaced'] = session_id();
print_r($_SESSION);
?>
[/CODE]
Of course this prooved successful, except for the obvious change of my
directory location to my tmp...
Now I did have a chance to try out the same script on a Linux OS with PHP
and had no troubles with ./tmp as the tmp directory, so like really, wtf
is the problem?
