Bug #61000 [NEW]: Exceeding max nesting level doesn't delete numerical vars

From: cataphract Operating system: Irrelevant PHP version: trunk-SVN-2012-02-07 (snap) Package: Scripting Engine problem Bug Type: Bug Bug description:Exceeding max nesting level doesn't delete numerical vars Description: ------------ Exceeding the max nesting level doesn't delete numerical vars, while it deletes the non-numerical ones. php_register_variable_ex inappropriately uses zend_hash_del. (Found out by Stefan Esser, who points this can be used, together with max_input_vars, to determine whether PHP is a 32-bit or 64-bit process) Test script: --------------- With max nesting level=2: http://nebm.ist.utl.pt/phpinfo?1[a][]=foo&1[a][b][c]=bar Expected result: ---------------- _GET is empty Actual result: -------------- _GET["1"] = Array ( [a] => Array ( [0] => foo ) ) -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=61000&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61000&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61000&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61000&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61000&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61000&r=needdocs Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61000&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61000&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61000&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61000&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61000&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61000&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61000&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61000&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61000&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61000&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61000&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61000&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61000&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61000&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61000&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61000&r=mysqlcfg
