Warning: getmypid has been disabled

[turtleboy]

When I try to upload files I gt the following errors returbed:
In the header:
---------------------------------------
Warning: getmypid, getmyuid, getmygid, getopt, getrusage, assert_options, assert, dl, mysql_pconnect, shell_exec, phpinfo() has been disabled for security reasons in /home/content/t/u/r/turtleboy212/html/foto/foto-gallery/upload.php on line 1182

The File is still uploaded though, and when I got tot the next page (naming and putting  description),
it returns this error in the header:
---------------------------------------
Warning: getmypid, getmyuid, getmygid, getopt, getrusage, assert_options, assert, dl, mysql_pconnect, shell_exec, phpinfo() has been disabled for security reasons in /home/content/t/u/r/turtleboy212/html/foto/foto-gallery/upload.php on line 2387

The file upload and everything else is successful, I'm just thinking the program is trying to pull some information my server won't allow. Since my site is hosted by another company, I'm pretty sure I can't change anything server-side.. so is there anything I can edit in the upload.php safely to remove these ugly warnings?

Your host has disabled getmypid, which is used to get the thread's process number from the server (as no two users can have the same process number at the same time).  This is combined with the time to create a unique identifying string for temporary files.

You can try substituting mt_rand(0, 32000) for getmypid.

The relevant code on 497 and 1182 will look like this:

Code Select Expand


        $unique_ID = substr(md5(microtime().getmypid()), 0, 8);


Change it to:

Code Select Expand


        $unique_ID = substr(md5(microtime().mt_rand(0, 32000)), 0, 8);


If you are using less than PHP 4.2, you will need to make it look like this:

Code Select Expand


        mt_srand(hexdec(substr(md5(microtime()), -8)) & 0x7fffffff);
        $unique_ID = substr(md5(microtime().mt_rand(0, 32000)), 0, 8);


Please report if this is helpful to you.

Ok I replaced the code on lines 497, 1182, and 2387 with what you suggested. And everything works fine now.

You might want to add that on lines 1182 and 2387 the code starts with '$seed' instead of '$unique_id'

Thanks for the help.

@Hyperion and devs: since many webhosts react on script kiddy attacks against PHP weaknesses with "hardened" policies we might encounter such issues more frequently in the future, so I suggest we might want to consider adding checking routines wether getmypid() has been disabled and use random numbers instead as a fall back.

Hi Guys,

I have the same problems, but I am not a whizz kid, so I do not understand a thing in the offered solution. Is there a way to solve this?

Error message:

Warning: getmypid, dl, leak, chgrp() has been disabled for security reasons in /data/members/paid/t/o/tocn.info/htdocs/album/upload.php on line 1186


Warning: getmypid, dl, leak, chgrp() has been disabled for security reasons in /data/members/paid/t/o/tocn.info/htdocs/album/upload.php on line 501

Thanks very much!

Pim.

You need to download the copy of upload.php from your server, and use a simple text editor eg notepad to find and change

Code Select Expand


        $unique_ID = substr(md5(microtime().getmypid()), 0, 8);


to

Code Select Expand


        $unique_ID = substr(md5(microtime().mt_rand(0, 32000)), 0, 8);


then upload the changed file to your server, overwriting the old one.

Hmm I did this (easy - even for me!!), but it gave me more problems:

Warning: is_dir(): Stat failed for ./albums/edit/. (errno=13 - Permission denied) in /data/members/paid/t/o/tocn.info/htdocs/album/upload.php on line 432

This appears when I go to Upload File.

If I had the answer I would have posted it.  But being frustrated is no excuse for being rude, or not posting in the correct place, where you are most likely to get the help you need in the first place.

It might help to use the latest version.

dragonfire: simply change the code in all occurences as described in upload.php and image_processor.php

Code Select Expand

substr(md5(microtime().getmypid()), 0, 8);
becomes

Code Select Expand

substr(md5(uniqid("")), 0, 8);


[note: applied to dev branch.]

[laubert]

Hi,

I also found the line :
$seed = substr(md5(microtime().getmypid()), 0, ;
three times in upload.php.

Can I change the three :
substr(md5(microtime().getmypid()), 0,
by
substr(md5(microtime().mt_rand(0, 32000)), 0,

?



Oops, of course there are no smilies but number eight in the file
Thank you.

[Nibbler]

Yes, you can use any method you like to get a random string.
