Discussion

PHP .Htaccess Safe_Mode and Open_Basedir Restriction-Bypass Vulnerability

PHP is prone to a 'safe_mode' and 'open_basedir' restriction-bypass vulnerability. Successful exploits could allow an attacker to write files in unauthorized locations.

These vulnerabilities would be an issue in shared-hosting configurations where multiple users can create and execute arbitrary PHP script code, with the 'safe_mode' and 'open_basedir' restrictions assumed to isolate the users from each other.

This issue is reported to affect PHP 5.2.3 and 4.4.7; previous versions may also be vulnerable.

Exploit / POC

PHP .Htaccess Safe_Mode and Open_Basedir Restriction-Bypass Vulnerability

To exploit these issues, an attacker may use system commands and standard PHP code. The attacker must also be able to write to a '.htaccess' file. The "AllowOverride Options" and "AllowOverride All" privileges must be set in Apache configurations.

The discoverer of this issue states that he will release an exploit on June 29, 2007.

Solution / Fix

PHP .Htaccess Safe_Mode and Open_Basedir Restriction-Bypass Vulnerability

Solution:
The vendor has released PHP 5.2.4 to address this issue. Please see the referenced advisories for more information.
