Summary

The error_log function in basic_functions.c in PHP before 4.4.4 and 5.x before 5.1.5 allows local users to bypass safe mode and open_basedir restrictions via a "php://" or other scheme in the third argument, which disables safe mode. This can lead to unauthorized file access.

Risk Assessment

A local attacker can bypass PHP security mechanisms and access files outside allowed directories. This may result in data leakage or further privilege escalation.

Recommendation

Update PHP to version 4.4.4, 5.1.5, or later. Consider disabling error_log with dangerous arguments or restricting local user privileges.
