o Fixed Bug #12119: safe mode owner check can be bypassed with symlink
  - [ main/safe_mode.c ] use VCWD_REALPATH to resolve destination
    of symlink before trimming filename

php_checkuid() [ main/safe_mode.c:46 ] first checks the ownership of
the file you are trying to open against the ownership of the executing
script.

if that check fails, it checks the ownership of the directory
containing the file you are trying to open. the second part never calls
VCWD_REALPATH() on the filename before trimming it to get the working
directory. thus it is simple to bypass safe mode restrictions.

in a directory you own, create a symlink to say /etc/passwd then
include that symlink in a file you own.

eg:
$ cd $HOME/public_html
$ ln -s /etc/passwd symlink
$ echo '<pre><?php include "symlink"; ?></pre>' > passwd.php

I have a patch (almost) prepared that calls VCWD_REALPATH() on the
destination, then trims the filename in order to get directory
permissions.
