Description:
------------
Function basename does not check invalid multibyte strings.
For example, non-minimum UTF-8 forms are treated as normal file names.
This is a potential path-traversal vulnerability like CVE-2008-2938. 

Test script:
---------------
setlocale('LC_CTYPE', 'en_US.utf8');
var_dump(bin2hex(basename("..\xC0\xAFx")));  // \xC0\xAF is a non-minimum UTF-8 form of '/'

Expected result:
----------------
string(2) "78"

OR

string(0) ""

Actual result:
--------------
string(10) "2e2ec0af78"

Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.  For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please
visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions.  Due to the volume
of reports we can not explain in detail here why your report is not
a bug.  The support channels will be able to provide an explanation
for you.

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

basename() is supposed to strip away leading path components, but
not to validate/sanitize the given parameter.
