Package: apache2 Version: 2.0.52-3 Severity: important Hi,
we've reported this earlier and I thought that a php4 update fixed this problem. Unfortunately, the bug reappeared this week again. It seems that there is an environment corruption bug. Minimal testcase: Create a php file, umask.php, with: ------------------ snipp -------------------------- <?php umask(0700); ?> ------------------ snipp -------------------------- Invoke w3m or another browser to open this file http://<hostname>/umask.php create a cgi file, test.pl, with: ------------------ snipp -------------------------- #!/usr/bin/perl -w $counter=`date`; open(TMP,">/tmp/test.log.$counter"); print TMP "foobar\n\n"; close TMP; ------------------ snipp -------------------------- Request this cgi script a couple of times, e.g: while true;do wget http://<hostname>/cgi-bin/test.pl;done The output will look like this: -rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 7 Dec 18 15:27 test.log.Sat Dec 18 15:27:50 CET 2004 -r------w- 1 www-data www-data 7 Dec 18 15:27 test.log.Sat Dec 18 15:27:51 CET 2004 The permissions on the second file are wrong. This behaviour causes all sorts of funny side effects here. The cgi script is probably reusing the apache child environment of the php script and therefore creates the file with wrong permissions. We are using the debian testing php4 packages, 4.3.9. I am not sure, if this is a bug in apache2 or in php4, though. So, feel free to reassign, if necessary.
