ChDir() can be use to enter a directory which belongs to others. Hackers can use this hole to break the SafeMode and OpenBaseDir restriction and enter and view and even open files in someone else' directory.
In a multiuser environment where users must have some files with the same owner( such as 'nobody', to handle file-upload tasks), this hole is extremely dangerous.
