This is not a bug, PHP can not stop other programs from going into directories protected by open_basedir.

Well. Not bug?

If php_admin_value open_basedir restrict to use /XXX /yyy /zzzz but user can with a script onto /XXX ,  for example he can read /etc or /WWW/XXX/ (this dir not in open_basedir)

What this it?

http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.safe-mode.php#ini.open-basedir
"Limit the files that can be opened by PHP to the specified directory-tree, including the file itself. This directive is NOT affected by whether Safe Mode is turned On or Off.

When a script tries to open a file with, for example, fopen() or gzopen(), the location of the file is checked. When the file is outside the specified directory-tree, PHP will refuse to open it. All symbolic links are resolved, so it's not possible to avoid this restriction with a symlink. "

It's posible run a system comand con /bin when this dir it's not it open_basedir ?

Or run ls for red list dir out of directory protected for open_basedir ?

Yes, as I said PHP can not protect against this as it happens outside the PHP program.
