ID: 23179 Updated by: arnaud@php.net Reported By: Marius at LowVoice dot nl -Status: Open +Status: Assigned Bug Type: PEAR related Operating System: debian linux PHP Version: 4.3.1 Assigned To: ssb New Comment: changing status (alan got me again ;) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-04-28 03:51:42] arnaud@php.net Assigning to stig. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-04-12 12:19:18] Marius at LowVoice dot nl I've found that on our systems files in PEAR (/usr/local/php/share/pear/*) have unsafe modes (666) basicaly this enables anyone on the system that has the ability to edit files to change the files to their liking. For instance the MAIL module of PEAR could easily be modified to send duplicates of all mail send by PEAR to their address. I've been able to reproduce this with a clean install of php4.3.1 that i've downloaded today. I think it's a pretty straitforward issue that doesn't require more info on the matter, however i'll be happy to be of more assistance if needed.
