[N]eo [S]ecurity [T]eam [NST] - Advisory #26 - 09/10/06
--------------------------------------------------------
Program: PHP
Homepage: http://www.php.net
Vulnerable Versions: PHP 3, 4, 5
Risk: High!
Impact: Critical Risk
-==PHP open_basedir with symlink() function Race Condition PoC exploit==-
---------------------------------------------------------
- Description
---------------------------------------------------------
PHP is a widely-used general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for Web development and can be embedded into HTML.
- Tested
---------------------------------------------------------
localhost - PHP 5.0.4
- Vulnerability Description
---------------------------------------------------------
The vulnerability was discovered by the staff of Hardened-PHP (www.hardened-php.net). You can see the original advisory
in http://www.hardened-php.net/advisory_082006.132.html.
The point isn't all like the Hardened people said:
"The first script alternates a symbolic link between a file that
is allowed and the one that is forbidden by open_basedir and the
second script simply puts loops around operations trying to
operate on the symbolic link."
We don't need to alternate the symlink beetwen an allowed file an a forbidden one. In this PoC you can see that the symlink
doesn't point to an allowed file in the loop.

}

--Real Proof of Concept exploit--
We finally bypass the open_basedir restriction and we read the main dir content. Also we can read a file, like /etc/passwd.
In the third line of script1.php we make the symbolic link to ./etc/passwd so we have to create a folder named "etc" with a
file named "passwd" inside:
[root@fc43035 race_condition]# ls
a etc script1.php script2.php script.php
[root@fc43035 race_condition]# cd etc
[root@fc43035 etc]# ls
passwd
[root@fc43035 etc]# cd ..
[root@fc43035 race_condition]#
Then the script1.php is equal than the first one. We have just to change the symbolic link to "dummy/../../../../../../etc/passwd".
In the script2.php we try to read the file ("xxx" link) with the file_get_contents() function.

--Real Proof of Concept exploit--
You can see that the /etc/passwd is readed two times and a lot more if we don't stop the script execution.
- How to fix it? More information?
--------------------------------------------------------
Like the Hardened-PHP staff said, you have to disallow the use of symlink() function.
You can do this using the disable_functions directive in your php configuration (php.ini by default):
disable_functions = ...,symlink;
