PHP <=5.3 - preg_match() full path disclosure
============================================= PHP <=5.3 - preg_match() full path disclosure ============================================= # Title: PHP <=5.3 - preg_match() full path disclosure # CVE-ID: () # OSVDB-ID: () # Author: David Vieira-Kurz # Published: 2009-09-27 # Verified: yes view source print? [MajorSecurity Advisory #57]PHP <=5.3 - preg_match() full path disclosure Details ======= Product: PHP <=5.3 Security-Risk: moderated Remote-Exploit: yes Vendor-URL: http://www.php.net/ Vendor-Status: informed Advisory-Status: published Credits ============ Discovered by: David Vieira-Kurz http://www.majorsecurity.info Affected Products: ---------------------------- PHP 5.3 and prior PHP 5.2.11 and prior Original Advisory: ============ http://www.majorsecurity.info/index_2.php?major_rls=major_rls57 Introduction ============ "PHP is a widely-used general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for Web development and can be embedded into HTML." - from php.net More Details ============ 1. Full Path Disclosure ----------------------------------- There is a full path disclosure vulnerability concerning the preg_match() php function which allow attackers to gather the real path of the server side script. The preg_match() PHP function takes strings as parameters and will raise warnings when values that are passed are arrays rather then strings. To get the path of the current script, you simply need to pass the arguments as arrays rather then expected strings and then simply read the warning message generated by PHP to see the error including the full path of the current running script. Proof of concept: http://localhost/cms/modules/system/admin.php?fct=users&op[]= Warning: preg_match() expects parameter 2 to be string, array given in /htdocs/cms/include/common.php on line 105 Solution ================ I would NOT recommend to just react by "security through obscurity" and turn off the error messages, error reporting etc. This is not a solution because there are a lot of users that are having a shared hosting server where they aren't able to manipulate the "php.ini" configuration file - even ini_set() is forbidden on some shared hoster servers. So they still would have the full path disclosure there. Workaround ================ I would recommend to meticulously go through the code forcing PHP to cast the data to the desired type, in this case the (string) casts to eliminate the Notice or Warning messages. Example: <?PHP if(isset($_GET['page'])) { if (is_array($page = $_GET['page'])) { $casted = (string)$page; } else { $page = htmlspecialchars($_GET['page'],ENT_QUOTES,'UTF-8'); validate_alpha($page); } } function validate_alpha($page) { return preg_match("/^[A-Za-z0-9_-]+$/ ", $page); } ?> Vendor communication ================ The PHP Developer team has been informed that there is this vulnerability. # 0day.today [2024-10-06] #
