Operating system: linux
PHP version: 4.0CVS-2001-09-12
PHP Bug Type: Session related
Bug description: static path in php and mm
php (from 4.0.6 and the latest cvs code), has PS_MM_PATH
statically defined in ext/session/mod_mm.c.
This, coupled with hardcoding of only an extension in
libmm.so, allows for a very easy DOS on systems that use
session management for at least cgi and external binary
placements for php, and quite possibly module installation.
Is it produceable? sure.. touch /tmp/session_mm.sem (if
using php and mm)
