Solution
(unintened solution) Race Condition
- When index.php is executed, a flag is stored in
$_SESSIONand the session is saved in/tmp/sess_<session id> - A file with mime type audio/x-s3m has file signature
SCRMat offset 44 - Using race condition with
PHP_SESSION_UPLOAD_PROGRESS(ref: Orange: 10月 2018), create a file/tmp/sess_<session id>which hasupload_progress_AAAAA...AAASCRMcontent - Run index.php and audio.php in parallel, the session file
/tmp/sess_<session id>will be rewritten on processing the next line (*):
// audio.php
<?php
$file = 'audio/' . $_GET['f'];
if (!file_exists($file)) {
http_response_code(404); die;

if (!$mime || !str_starts_with($mime, 'audio')) {

}
// (*)
header("Content-Type: $mime");
readfile($file);
- Read the session file by
readfile("audio/../../../../tmp/sess_<session id>");and get the flag
