PHP Safe Mod protection bypass
Published:		28.01.2007
Source:		FULL-DISCLOSURE
SecurityVulns ID:		7123
Type:		local
Threat Level:		6/10
Description:		It's possible to traverse working directory protection by using writing mode (srpath://../ file prefix for fopen()).

Affected:		PHP : PHP 5.2
CVE:		CVE-2007-0448 (The fopen function in PHP 5.2.0 does not properly handle invalid URI handlers, which allows context-dependent attackers to bypass safe_mode restrictions and read arbitrary files via a file path specified with an invalid URI, as demonstrated via the srpath URI.)
