Bug #68252 [NEW]: segfault in Zend/zend_hash.c in function _zend_hash_del_el

From: bugs at milos dot nz Operating system: Linux 3.16 (Gentoo) PHP version: master-Git-2014-10-17 (Git) Package: Reproducible crash Bug Type: Bug Bug description:segfault in Zend/zend_hash.c in function _zend_hash_del_el Description: ------------ WordPress sites with certain plugins enabled cause a segmentation fault. Several different sites with different plugins cause this and the segmentation fault is the same. I have not encountered the issue with any isolated PHP script so I cannot currently be more specific than this. Commenting out most of the _zend_hash_del_el() function resolves the issue, however this must either reduce performance, cause memory leaks or other anomalies, so if anything this is a temporary workaround: static zend_always_inline void _zend_hash_del_el(HashTable *ht, uint32_t idx, Bucket *p) { Bucket *prev = NULL; /*if (!(ht->u.flags & HASH_FLAG_PACKED)) { uint32_t nIndex = p->h & ht->nTableMask; uint32_t i = ht->arHash[nIndex]; if (i != idx) { prev = ht->arData + i; while (Z_NEXT(prev->val) != idx) { i = Z_NEXT(prev->val); prev = ht->arData + i; } } }*/ _zend_hash_del_el_ex(ht, idx, p, prev); } Test script: --------------- I am not able to identify exactly what code causes the segmentation fault so cannot provide a test script at this current point in time, but the segmentation fault is 100% reproducible on my system. Expected result: ---------------- No segmentation fault. Actual result: -------------- Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. _zend_hash_del_el (p=0x7fffeff117b0, idx=1725, ht=0xf81890) at /root/tmp/php-src/Zend/zend_hash.c:658 658 while (Z_NEXT(prev->val) != idx) { (gdb) bt #0 _zend_hash_del_el (p=0x7fffeff117b0, idx=1725, ht=0xf81890) at /root/tmp/php-src/Zend/zend_hash.c:658 #1 zend_hash_apply_deleter (ht=ht@entry=0xf81890, idx=idx@entry=1725, p=p@entry=0x7fffeff117b0) at /root/tmp/php-src/Zend/zend_hash.c:973 #2 0x000000000074b0a9 in zend_hash_reverse_apply (ht=0xf81890, apply_func=apply_func@entry=0x729ee0 <clean_non_persistent_function>) at /root/tmp/php-src/Zend/zend_hash.c:1133 #3 0x000000000072a6b8 in shutdown_executor () at /root/tmp/php-src/Zend/zend_execute_API.c:347 #4 0x000000000073ac17 in zend_deactivate () at /root/tmp/php-src/Zend/zend.c:883 #5 0x00000000006dface in php_request_shutdown (dummy=dummy@entry=0x0) at /root/tmp/php-src/main/main.c:1859 #6 0x0000000000484214 in main (argc=2, argv=0x7fffffffe078) at /root/tmp/php-src/sapi/cgi/cgi_main.c:2515 (gdb) print prev $1 = (Bucket *) 0x801feff03ff0 (gdb) print prev->val Cannot access memory at address 0x801feff04000 (gdb) print idx $2 = 1725 The issue is apparently here: 658: while (Z_NEXT(prev->val) != idx) { However, I am not sure if the fault lies in _zend_hash_del_el() itself or if _zend_hash_del_el() is being called with incorrect arguments.
