Filling /tmp directory on Apache Unix

  • Hi,
    My hosting provider shut down my WordPress-powered site, explaining the /tmp folder was filled by a lot of tmpXXX files:

    -rw——- 1 apache apache 0 May 10 00:57 tmp0O2RD9
    -rw——- 1 apache apache 0 May 10 00:56 tmp0QRbXi
    -rw——- 1 apache apache 0 May 10 01:02 tmp0qrLcr
    -rw——- 1 apache apache 0 May 10 00:57 tmp0tbthN
    -rw——- 1 apache apache 0 May 10 01:01 tmp0wIcqn
    -rw——- 1 apache apache 0 May 10 01:02 tmp1AFumQ
    -rw——- 1 apache apache 0 May 10 01:00 tmp1HYMqP

    I wonder what those files are, whether WordPress 2.0.3 is protected against those kind of abuse, and whether you have any ideas to help me ??

    Thanks a lot for your help,
    Nicolas

  • 2.0.3?

    My first suggestion would be to get current. You’re very far behind… and there have been quite a few security fixes.
