#47244 [NEW]: serialize() of a string with a line break (\r) broken.

From: nir at winpdb dot org Operating system: Ubuntu Intrepid PHP version: 5.2.8 PHP Bug Type: *General Issues Bug description: serialize() of a string with a line break (\r) broken. Description: ------------ Isn't this a bug? php > print serialize("hi\rho"); ho";"hi php > print unserialize(serialize("hi\rho")); ho I stumbled on this while working on a Drupal system. Can this possibly have security consequences as well? if a \r on a web form breaks the internal data structures of a system? Am I missing anything? PS: I am actually using PHP 5.2.6 on Ubuntu Intrepid. Cheers, Nir Reproduce code: --------------- print serialize("hi\rho"); Expected result: ---------------- s:5:"hi ho"; Actual result: -------------- ho";"hi -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=47244&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47244&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47244&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47244&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47244&r=fixedcvs Fixed in CVS and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47244&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47244&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47244&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47244&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47244&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47244&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47244&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47244&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47244&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47244&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47244&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47244&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47244&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47244&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47244&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47244&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47244&r=mysqlcfg
