#47701 [NEW]: print_r sends output when $return set to true if memory limit is reached

From: paul at paulmcgarry dot com Operating system: Linux PHP version: 5.2.9 PHP Bug Type: Unknown/Other Function Bug description: print_r sends output when $return set to true if memory limit is reached Description: ------------ This relates to Bug #47020 which I believe has incorrectly set to bogus. I have been using print_r() while processing $errcontext in an error handling function, ie one registered with set_error_handler() It seems that when print_r() hits the memory limit it exposes my entire error context to the user. print_r having a failure mode where it exposes potentially private data to the user is a security issue. If it can't be fixed easily then it should be documented. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=47701&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47701&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47701&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47701&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47701&r=fixedcvs Fixed in CVS and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47701&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47701&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47701&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47701&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47701&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47701&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47701&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47701&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47701&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47701&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47701&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47701&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47701&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47701&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47701&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47701&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47701&r=mysqlcfg
