Re: [PHP] is_uploaded_file() security

I don't think so. Test this, but I think you can just type /etc/passwd into
the file name box (instead of using the browse button) and have that value
submitted in the form. May be dependent upon the browser on how it's
handled, though.
 

This does not work with multipart/form-data you need www-urlencoded (or 
just don't set an enctype attribute in your form)

Either way, I can still construct a POST to your site using cURL or
something to simulate sending you a file with a name of a file on your
server.
So, validate that the file is actually an uploaded file and not a path to
something else. That's why the functions exist.

Hi,
Multipart/form-data sends the entire file, if you don't use that enctype 
yes, just the file name is sent.

best regards

I tried:
form action=phpinfo.php?_FILES[fake][tmp_name]=/etc/passwd 
method=post enctype=multipart/form-data
Fake: input type=text name=_FILES[fake][tmp_name] 
value=/etc/passwdbr
input type=file name=suborbr
input type=submit
/form

$_FILES superglobal still wasn't poisoned.

I see, but then $_FILES is probably not set. So it wouldnt be necessary
to use is_uploaded_file() if one solely uses $_FILES (but should
probably nevertheless for any possible bugs - as Marek mentioned). Did I
miss anything?

hi,

I think marek's recent message has answered this already, but i also 
believe  that even in the older system where
you have form fields like input type=file name=userfile result in 
global variables like userfile_name etc the global variables don't get 
populated unless you send the correct enctype.

best regards

[PHP] is_uploaded_file() security

2003-10-22 Thread Alexander Mueller
Hi,

I am wondering about the following paragraph at
http://at2.php.net/manual/en/function.is-uploaded-file.php.

 Returns TRUE if the file named by filename was uploaded via HTTP POST.
 This is useful to help ensure that a malicious user hasn't tried to
 trick the script into working on files upon which it should not be
 working--for instance, /etc/passwd.

 This sort of check is especially important if there is any chance that
 anything done with uploaded files could reveal their contents to the
 user, or even to other users on the same system.

AFAIK the browser only sends the content of the chosen file and cannot
specify in any way a local filename which should be worked on.
Furthermore PHP creates a temporary file containing the uploaded file
content and passes this filename as 'tmp_name' variable. How can then a
malicious user try to trick the script?

Thanks,
Alexander

By requesting upload_script.php?userfile=/etc/passwd and 
upload_sript.php uses global variables to handle uploads. This check 
should not be necessery if you are using $_FILES superglobal as php will 
not accept _FILES user input. But keep the check there in case a bug

The user can pass the name of a file on the server. If you're not doing any
checks and moving or displaying the file the user sent you, you may end
up moving, deleting, or displaying any file on your server.

Thanks for the explanation Marek. When I fully entered PHP's arena the

You would send your own /etc/passwd to the server.

I checked it. I tried phpinfo.php?_FILES[file][tmp_name]=/etc/passwd and 
$_FILES superglobal was not set. My guess is it is the same for post and

 Read the docs about copy_uploaded_file() (this is the function with some
more docs, as I remember).

Re: [PHP] is_uploaded_file

2001-12-28 Thread Andrey Hristov

I had 4.0.0 for a year or more and used that stuff quite well.
And the docs says :
For earlier versions of PHP, you'll need to do something like
  the following.

Note: This will not work in versions of PHP 4
after 4.0.2. It depends on internal functionality of PHP which
changed after that version.


If one of your boxes is 4.0.2 and the other 4.0.3 use the output of phpinfo() with 
some kind of hack to determine wich one of the
function to use, or just write a wrapper which decides pipe to which function to make.

[PHP] is_uploaded_file false if file too big

2001-03-05 Thread Tyson Lloyd Thwaites

Hi,

I am having a problem with is_uploaded file returning false if the
file
uploaded is over a certain size.

I have used ini_set("upload_max_filesize", "8M"), as well as setting
MAX_FILE_SIZE like this:
INPUT TYPE="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="21"
(ie real big :)

Still, if I try to upload a file over about 2mb, is_uploaded_file
returns false and the $userfile var is empty. Shouldn't it report an
uploaded file even if it is too large?

This is quite annoying as my script uses is_uploaded_file to check if
a
file has been uploaded, and if not it shows an upload form. If I try
to upload a +2Mb file, after a short wait I get the upload form
again.

Any help in fixing this would be appreciated. Here is my setup:

PHP-4.0.5-dev CGI
IIS4/NT4 SP4
