Status: Bogus
Bug Type: Filesystem function related
Operating System: win, unix
PHP Version: 5.1.2
New Comment:
If you do exec($_GET['var']); - it's your fault that user can pass
?var=rm -rf and delete everything on the disk.
Not PHP problem, users should take care of such things themselves.

if this isnt bug, then i dont know what else should be.
if someone can gain full access to server because of error in php, i
dont know..
i messed () in line if(is_file("my_lang_dir/".$_REQUEST["x"].".txt")
it should look like
if(is_file("my_lang_dir/".$_REQUEST["x"].".txt"))

Description:
------------
There is a serious bug in all versions of php.
When webmaster use input variables in directories functions, like
is_file, include, ... , hacker could include his own file in system.
For example.
Someone do logs in files. Hacker is able to put in logs something like
<? phpinfo();?>. He know the path.
let say /data/log.txt
Then there is /index.php file, which contains
<?
// if magic quotes are on
foreach($_REQUEST as $k=>$v) $_REQUEST[$k] = stripslashes($v);
if(is_file("my_lang_dir/".$_REQUEST["x"].".txt")
include "my_lang_dir/".$_REQUEST["x"].".txt";
?>
...
Problem is when attacker use ?x=../data/log.txt%00&
function stripslashes makes from %00 chr(0)
then in is_file() fc goes my_lang_dir/../data/log.txt\0.txt
and most probably functions in os sees only my_lang_dir/../data/log.txt
and zero, as terminating char.
i think this should return false, but it return true, and
continue.....
I found this error while i was testing one server, and with this i have
gained access to remote server.
Reproduce code:
---------------
?x=../data/log.txt%00&
<?
// if magic quotes are on
foreach($_REQUEST as $k=>$v) $_REQUEST[$k] = stripslashes($v);
if(is_file("my_lang_dir/".$_REQUEST["x"].".txt")
include "my_lang_dir/".$_REQUEST["x"].".txt";
?>
Expected result:
----------------
it should not include anything
Actual result:
--------------
it includes log file
