ID: 54110 Updated by: paj...@php.net Reported by: carsten_sttgt at gmx dot de Summary: tsrm_realpath_r and junction point with denied read access Status: Feedback Type: Bug Package: Filesystem function related Operating System: Windows PHP Version: Irrelevant Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Keeping in mind that PHP does not allow one to access data if it does not have the permission to do it (like reading meta outside openbasedir, or similar cases). Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-02-27 12:15:46] paj...@php.net I'm not sure your diagnostic is correct. Junction or links are supported and work well. Is /deny RD not about denying read data/list directory? Then why should we do it? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-02-27 12:05:35] carsten_sttgt at gmx dot de Description: ------------ tsrm_realpath_r is having a problem if working with/inside a junction point and "read data/list directory" is denied on this junction point. That's the implementation for many common directories on Windows7/Vista in e.g. %USERPROFILE%, %ALLUSERSPROFILE% like "%USERPROFILE%\SendTo". The problem is a call to CreateFile with GENERIC_READ access in tsrm_realpath_r. Well, the MSDN is writing: > If this parameter is zero, the application can query certain metadata > such as file, directory, or device attributes without accessing that > file or device, even if GENERIC_READ access would have been denied. I think "zero" is save at this point and that's what I'm doing in my patch. Regards, Carsten Test script: --------------- in the shell: md test1 mklink /j test test1 icacls test /deny *S-1-1-0:(rd) php -r "var_dump(realpath('test'));" php -r "var_dump(fopen('test/test.txt', 'w'));" Expected result: ---------------- string(31) "C:\Users\Public\Documents\test1" resource(5) of type (stream) Actual result: -------------- bool(false) Warning: fopen(test/test.txt): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in Command line code on line 1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=54110&edit=1
