CVE-2007-1710: The readfile function in PHP 4.4.4, 5.1.6, and 5.2.1 allows context-dependent attackers to bypass safe_mode...

The readfile function in PHP 4.4.4, 5.1.6, and 5.2.1 allows context-dependent attackers to bypass safe_mode restrictions and read arbitrary files by referring to local files with a certain URL syntax instead of a pathname syntax, as demonstrated by a filename preceded a "php://../../" sequence.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw affects old PHP versions where readfile could bypass safe_mode and read local files. The business risk is exposure of sensitive server files, such as application configuration or credentials, on systems still running those legacy PHP builds. Exposure is most likely in legacy PHP applications or vendor appliances still using PHP 4.4.4, 5.1.6, or 5.2.1 with safe_mode relied on as a containment control. Prioritize remediation where legacy PHP is exposed to untrusted users or stores sensitive configuration. This is primarily a legacy-asset risk, but impact can be material if credentials or private data are readable. Mitigation focus: Inventory systems running PHP 4.4.4, 5.1.6, or 5.2.1.; Check PHP and cited vendor advisories for fixed versions or supported upgrade paths.; Do not rely on PHP safe_mode as a security boundary..
