Have the same problem on test server Linux Slackware x64 current. Interesting on produce servers are
the same like test server (packages) this problem does not exists, but my test server run on
apache2, produce servers on nginx with php-fpm.

Hi Leigh; can you elaborate on how I can test that please.
Thanks.

@leigh: Please also check whether this applies to the CSPRNG as well.

Description:
------------
mcrypt has broken in 5.6.10 on my platform under apache 2.4.12
running with threaded mpm.

$ /opt/local/apache/bin/httpd  -M |grep mpm
 mpm_worker_module (static)

Symptoms are that under apache, php's use of mcrypt runs into time limits...
but if you run the same code from php command line it works fine.



Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /opt/local/apache/htdocs/mcr.php on
line 7

Inspection with truss shows it is failing to open /dev/urandom

This is a truss from apache 2.4.12 with php 5.6.9:

24686/27:       munmap(0xCD3B0000, 4096)                        = 0
24686/27:       munmap(0xCD390000, 7880)                        = 0
24686/27:       munmap(0xCD3A1000, 5040)                        = 0
24686/27:       munmap(0xCD370000, 2724)                        = 0
24686/27:       munmap(0xCD380000, 3028)                        = 0
24686/27:       open("/dev/urandom", O_RDONLY)                  = 17
24686/27:       read(17, "02F7F1F1 3CA $A8", 8)                 = 8
24686/27:       close(17)                                       = 0
24686/27:       open("/opt/local/lib/libmcrypt/tripledes.la", O_RDONLY) = 17

whereas on apache 2.4.12/php 5.6.10 (below) it keeps reading from fd #0 
(lsof says this is /dev/null)  until the timeout is reached.

25529/27:       munmap(0xCD3B0000, 4096)                        = 0
25529/27:       munmap(0xCD390000, 7880)                        = 0
25529/27:       munmap(0xCD3A1000, 5040)                        = 0
25529/27:       munmap(0xCD370000, 2724)                        = 0
25529/27:       munmap(0xCD380000, 3028)                        = 0
25529/27:       read(0, 0x0853CF78, 8)                          = 0
25529/27:       read(0, 0x0853CF78, 8)                          = 0
25529/27:       read(0, 0x0853CF78, 8)                          = 0
25529/27:       read(0, 0x0853CF78, 8)                          = 0
25529/27:       read(0, 0x0853CF78, 8)                          = 0

Looking at the php change log for 5.6.10 and the related changes in mcrypt.c
it would seem that the changes here have caused this fail.


Looking at these changes, I can spot one obvious error; the close code
doesn't consider fd#0 an open fd.  Patch for this below.  

However I suspect there is something else going on perhaps related to 
the multi-threaded environment.

$ diff -c mcrypt.c.orig mcrypt.c

        php_stream_filter_unregister_factory("mdecrypt.*" TSRMLS_CC);
  
!       if (MCG(fd[RANDOM]) > 0) {
                close(MCG(fd[RANDOM]));
        }
  
!       if (MCG(fd[URANDOM]) > 0) {
                close(MCG(fd[URANDOM]));
        }
  
        UNREGISTER_INI_ENTRIES();

                close(MCG(fd[RANDOM]));
+               MCG(fd[RANDOM]) = -1;
        }
  
!       if (MCG(fd[URANDOM]) >= 0) {
                close(MCG(fd[URANDOM]));
+               MCG(fd[URANDOM]) = -1;
        }
  
        UNREGISTER_INI_ENTRIES();

-----------

So further debugging is required.



Test script:
---------------
<?php
$plaintext="hello world";

$key = "1;lk23GH2KJ:l*&^$^%$913S";


$encrypted =
bin2hex(mcrypt_encrypt(MCRYPT_3DES,$key,$plaintext,MCRYPT_MODE_ECB,mcrypt_create_iv(mcrypt_get_iv_size(MCRYPT_3DES,MCRYPT_MODE_CFB))));

$decrypted_data =
trim(mcrypt_decrypt(MCRYPT_3DES,$key,hex2bin($encrypted),MCRYPT_MODE_ECB,mcrypt_create_iv(mcrypt_get_iv_size(MCRYPT_3DES,MCRYPT_MODE_CFB))),
"\0");

print "orig=".$plaintext."\n";
print "encr=".$encrypted."\n";
print "decrypted=".$decrypted_data."\n";
if($plaintext != $decrypted_data) {
        print "MISMATCH\n";
}
else {
        print "MATCH\n";
}

?>


Expected result:
----------------
Instant; no timeout

Actual result:
--------------
timeout
