According to Maksymilian Arciemowicz research,
it is possible to bypass security restrictions
of safe_mode in various
functions via directory traversal vulnerability. The attacker
can use this attack to gain access to sensitive
information. Functions utilizing
expand_filepath() may be affected.
It should be noted that this vulnerability is not
considered to be serious by the FreeBSD Security Team,
since safe_mode and open_basedir
are insecure by design and should not be relied upon.
