    Hi,

    Working on a Web app testing...I have found that the uses the so-vulnerable
    method of including files requested by php parameters:

    www.example.com/static.php?page=hello.htm
    (htm files are in /templates dir)

    A the page in the parameter is requested statically, I did a
    www.example.com/static.php?page=../static.php and I got that page source
    code.

    Therefore, I tried doing a
    www.example.com/static.php?page=../../../../../../etc/passwd
    but I get an error saying that file doesn't exist.

    I user the same source code in my server, and I could retrieve the
    file...what can be happening? I don't think it is under a chroot jail...

    I'm working with Apache 2.0.48 and PHP 4.3.4
    and the real server has Apache 2.0.52 an PHP 4.3.9....

    Thanks in advance,
    Andy
