Description:
------------
I couldnt find anyone who has reported this before, but
there is a big leak with the readdir function.
I was playing with the code and found that you can use is to read the root directory, or any dir for that matter, 
that is a security risk!!!!!!

here is the code -

Hope this helps fix the problem.

Reproduce code:
---------------
function GetDirContents($dir){
   ini_set("max_execution_time",10);
   if (!is_dir($dir)){die ("OOps");}
   if ($root=@opendir($dir)){
       while ($file=readdir($root)){
           if($file=="." || $file==".."){continue;}
       
         
           $files[]=$dir.$file;
           for($x=0; $x<sizeof($files);$x++)
           print $files[$x]<br>";
       }
   }
   return $files;
}


Expected result:
----------------
It will print all of the directories and files
depending on the input.(even the root!!!)

Actual result:
--------------
It will print all of the directories and files
depending on the input.(even the root!!!)
