Bug #53577 Regression (5.3.3-5.3.4) in open_basedir with a trailing forward slash
Submitted: 2010-12-19 23:44 UTC Modified: 2011-01-18 23:30 UTC

Status: Closed Package: Safe Mode/open_basedir
PHP Version: 5.3.4 OS: Windows 7
Private report: No CVE-ID: None

Description:
------------
Downloaded PHP 5.3.3 from: http://windows.php.net/downloads/releases/archives/php-5.3.3-nts-Win32-VC9-x86.zip
Downloaded PHP 5.3.4 from: http://windows.php.net/downloads/releases/php-5.3.4-nts-Win32-VC9-x86.zip

The following settings has the expected results in both PHP 5.3.3 and PHP 5.3.4
open_basedir="C:\twlan\"
open_basedir="C:\twlan"
open_basedir="C:/twlan"
open_basedir="C:/twlan\"

The following setting breaks open_basedir in PHP 5.3.4, but works fine in 5.3.3.
open_basedir="C:/twlan/"

So, the trailing forward slash on open_basedir makes every path invalid.

Changes between 5.3.3 and 5.3.4:
http://svn.php.net/viewvc/php/php-src/branches/PHP_5_3/main/fopen_wrappers.c?r1=301440&r2=306091

I think the bug was introduced in http://svn.php.net/viewvc/php/php-src/trunk/main/fopen_wrappers.c?r1=305098&r2=305698

PHP_DIR_SEPARATOR is "\\" on Windows.

Test script:
---------------
<?php
// open_basedir="C:/twlan/"
header("Content-Type: text/plain");
error_reporting(E_ALL | E_STRICT);
ini_set('html_errors', 0);
var_dump(realpath('.'));
var_dump(realpath('..'));
var_dump(realpath('../..'));
var_dump(realpath('../../..'));
?>

Expected result:
----------------
string(22) "C:\twlan\htdocs\combot"
string(15) "C:\twlan\htdocs"
string(8) "C:\twlan"

I'm just guessing, replacing the following:
-- snip --
		if (basedir[strlen(basedir) - 1] == PHP_DIR_SEPARATOR) {
			if (resolved_basedir[resolved_basedir_len - 1] != PHP_DIR_SEPARATOR) {
				resolved_basedir[resolved_basedir_len] = PHP_DIR_SEPARATOR;
				resolved_basedir[++resolved_basedir_len] = '\0';
			}
		} else {
				resolved_basedir[resolved_basedir_len++] = PHP_DIR_SEPARATOR;
				resolved_basedir[resolved_basedir_len] = '\0';
		}
-- snip --
with
-- snip --
		if (basedir[strlen(basedir) - 1] == PHP_DIR_SEPARATOR) {
			if (resolved_basedir[resolved_basedir_len - 1] != PHP_DIR_SEPARATOR) {
				resolved_basedir[resolved_basedir_len] = PHP_DIR_SEPARATOR;
				resolved_basedir[++resolved_basedir_len] = '\0';
			}
#if defined(PHP_WIN32) || defined(NETWARE)
		} else if (basedir[strlen(basedir) - 1] != '/') {
#else
		} else {	
#endif
				resolved_basedir[resolved_basedir_len++] = PHP_DIR_SEPARATOR;
				resolved_basedir[resolved_basedir_len] = '\0';
		}
-- snip --
should work.

Under Windows, PHP_DIR_SEPARATOR is a backslash. So we check here if it is a forward slash.

This is related to bug #53352 , but not an exact duplicate.

I've just added a patch on fopen_wrappers.c from the PHP 5.3 branch, r305698 ( http://svn.php.net/viewvc/php/php-src/branches/PHP_5_3/main/fopen_wrappers.c?view=markup&pathrev=305698 )
The patch fixed it for me.
