#38493 [NEW]: xmlrpc_encode_request(666, array()) crashes php

From: giunta dot gaetano at sea-aeroportimilano dot it Operating system: windows 2000 PHP version: 4.4.4 PHP Bug Type: XMLRPC-EPI related Bug description: xmlrpc_encode_request(666, array()) crashes php Description: ------------ xmlrpc_encode_request(666, array()) brings apache and php down in flames. I know that a user would better not use this, but instead xmlrpc_encode_request('666', array()), but - the xmlrpc spec allows method names to be made of numbers only - php is weakly typed - a php error msg would be better than a php crash anyway BTW: the bug is on line 674 of xmlrpc-epi.php.c (as of 4.4.3), where the zval string value is used without proper checking for its type first. Afaict a cast to string before using the value would fix it. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=38493&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38493&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38493&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38493&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38493&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38493&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38493&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38493&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38493&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38493&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38493&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38493&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38493&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38493&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38493&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38493&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38493&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38493&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38493&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38493&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38493&r=mysqlcfg
