/bin/sh -> /bin/bash
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 605504 9. Dez 2003 /bin/bash
so bash got the standart permissions as all of my systems.
a phpinfo(); out of a php script should do a /usr/bin/php -i,
what it successfully does here, so we can say, PHP is possible to
execute programs from the filesystem.
correct me, if i`m fail ;)
ok so far, programs are not bash buidin`s, so i tried this with the
passthru(); function of php, what looks:
<?
passthru("/bin/bash --version", $out);
echo $out;
?>
this results on the problem-server with the output of 127
whatever this is (smells a bit like an IP part ?!), and
on my Homemachine(FC3) and another Server(RH9) is the correct response
as:
GNU bash, version 3.00.14(1)-release (i386-redhat-linux-gnu) Copyright
(C) 2004 Free Software Foundation, Inc. 0
I think, you give the right way and there are problems php executing
bash commands.
What can i do next ?
