Trailing multi dots in filenames are ignored in Windows

Description

Additional dots ignored windows Windows treats filenames with trailing dots in a special way, namely that these are basically ignored by most APIs.
But, anyway on windows we can create this files with prefix "\\?\", for example:

ECHO 123> \\?\C:\app\flag.txt....

Check file is created

C:\app>dir
 Volume in drive C has no label.
 Volume Serial Number is F6CA-D975

 Directory of C:\app

07/03/2024  07:53 AM    <DIR>          .
06/23/2024  03:03 PM    <DIR>          ..
07/03/2024  07:53 AM                 5 flag.txt....

So file exists but realpath function not find it, and functions who use VCWD_REALPATH iside same not found it and open_basedir check can not passed because use VCWD_REALPATH

<?php
var_dump(realpath("C:\\app\\flag.txt...."));
var_dump(bindtextdomain('xxx', "C:\\app\\flag.txt...."));
var_dump(file_get_contents("C:\\app\\flag.txt...."));

try to use "\\?\" prefix

<?php
var_dump(realpath("\\\\?\\C:\\app\\flag.txt...."));
var_dump(bindtextdomain('xxx', "\\\\?\\C:\\app\\flag.txt...."));
var_dump(file_get_contents("\\\\?\\C:\\app\\flag.txt...."));

Resulted in this output:

bool(false)
bool(false)
Warning: file_get_contents(C:\app\flag.txt....): Failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\app\test.php on line 3
bool(false)

bool(false)
bool(false)
Warning: file_get_contents(\\?\C:\app\flag.txt....): Failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\app\test.php on line 3
bool(false)

But I expected this output instead:

string(19) "C:\app\flag.txt...."
string(19) "C:\app\flag.txt...."
string(3) "123"

string(19) "C:\app\flag.txt...."
string(19) "C:\app\flag.txt...."
string(3) "123"

If we enable open_basedir and set it to C:\app\ it falied on open_basedir check with prefix "\\?\"

<?php
var_dump(file_get_contents("C:\\app\\flag.txt...."));
var_dump(file_get_contents("\\\\?\\C:\\app\\flag.txt...."));

Warning: file_get_contents(C:\app\flag.txt....): Failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\app\test.php on line 1
bool(false)
Warning: file_get_contents(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(\\?\C:\app\flag.txt....) is not within the allowed path(s): (C:\\app\\) in C:\app\test.php on line 2
Warning: file_get_contents(\\?\C:\app\flag.txt....): Failed to open stream: Operation not permitted in C:\app\test.php on line 2
bool(false)

All function who use open_basedir check fail to check if use "\\?\" prefix, but if open_basedir not set functions: is_readable,file_exists,is_writable,filesize,fileatime .. maybe more - is working prefect with "\\?\" prefix,, im not check all functions.
Not working functions: realpath,file_get_contents,bindtextdomain,readfile,file,opcache_invalidate,SplFileInfo->getRealPath ... maybe more

Tái hiện các trường hợp dấu chấm ở cuối và đường dẫn \?\ trên Windows Server 2022 bằng các đoạn mã PHP, sau đó lần theo VCWD_REALPATH và các hàm được liệt kê, bao gồm realpath(), file_get_contents(), bindtextdomain() và các kiểm tra open_basedir. Được xem là hoàn tất khi các tệp hiện có với dấu chấm ở cuối được phân giải và truy cập một cách nhất quán, đồng thời các kiểm tra bảo mật vẫn được áp dụng chính xác.
