Re: PHP Safe Mode Filesystem Circumvention Problem (fwd)

The fact that 3rd party libs can load arbitrary files is not a new concept. Every time I give a moderately detailed PHP talk I mention the fact that there is a way to load a file through the oci8 libs. Of course it can be done through the mysql libs as well. This is not a new concept. All someone woulod have had to do to learn of this "vulnerability" would have been to go to any of the PHP talks I have given in the past 3 years. We will not scan queries to catch these. Safe mode is a crappy fix to a problem that isn't ours. -Rasmus On Tue, 5 Feb 2002, Andi Gutmans wrote: > We have always said that safe mode isn't very safe.
