PHP 4.0 Bug #5492: include() in loop

From: freax@pandora.be Operating system: linux 2.2.17-6 PHP version: 4.0.0 PHP Bug Type: Misbehaving function Bug description: include() in loop Our server went down when we did this : --filename: documentroot/ index.php--- <? include($file); ?> and in our browser : http://oursite/index.php?file=index.php Ok.. it's of course stupid if you do this (it was a test). But it actually crashed our box. (we want to provide users with an homepage where they can use mysql + php4 , so we did a few tests). We run apache as user apache:deamons on a linux 2.2.17-pre6 with openwall patch kernel. (It's a redhat box). Php was compiled with mysql support. http://www.netbox.nu (if it's up again :) since we have to ride to it) -- Philip van Hoof aka freax _/_/_/ http://users.pandora.be/skatan _/_/ _/ _/_/ _/_/_/ _/_/ _/ _/ mailto:freax@pandora.be _/_/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ I could be bought, but Linux_/_/_/_/ _/ _/ _/_/ _/_/_/_/ _/_/ couldn't be.
