The SAFE_MODE handling of glob() needs a checkup for security reasons. In short - always with SAFE_MODE on: 1) glob() can still fetch all filenames in a directory not owned by the same UID as the user, if just the first file in the directory (or more specific, the glob-pattern) happens to be owned by the same user as the PHP-script. 2a) No warning is raised if glob is used on another owner's directory and there is no match. 2b) In those cases where SAFE_MODE correctly prohibits glob() from fetching a list of files, the warning still discloses the first filename. Solution: glob() in SAFE_MODE should be restricted in the same way as opendir() is see the link http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=28932 ---- Server IP: 80.241.173.254 Probable Submitter: 217.133.63.65 ---- X-Spam-Status: No, hits=3.1 required=5.0 tests=DATE_MISSING,FROM_NO_LOWER autolearn=no version=2.64 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.safe-mode.functions.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/note/edit/63390 Del: integrated -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63390/integrated Del: useless -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63390/useless Del: bad code -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63390/bad+code Del: spam -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63390/spam Del: non-english -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63390/non-english Del: in docs -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63390/in+docs Del: other reasons-- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63390 Reject -- http://master.php.net/note/reject/63390 Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
