PHP 5.2.5 does not enforce (a) open_basedir and (b) safe_mode_exec_dir
restrictions for certain functions, which might allow local users to bypass
intended access restrictions and call programs outside of the intended
directory via the (1) exec, (2) system, (3) shell_exec, (4) passthru, or
(5) popen functions, possibly involving pathnames such as “C:” drive
notation.

jdstrand	PoC at http://downloads.securityfocus.com/vulnerabilities/exploits/31064.php
mdeslaur	The “PoC” doesn’t turn on safe_mode, so of course safe_mode_exec_dir doesn’t work. Ignoring.
