Bug #77359 [NEW]: spl_autoload causes segfault

From: lauri dot kentta at gmail dot com Operating system: Linux PHP version: 7.3.0 Package: SPL related Bug Type: Bug Bug description:spl_autoload causes segfault Description: ------------ The function spl_autoload converts class name to lower case and later tries to free this string. However, if it's already in lower case, it's not copied, but the reference count is incremented instead. Then zend_string_free is called, but this function can only be used if the reference count is 1 (or 0) and otherwise leads to use-after-free (or failed assertion). Looks like blame goes to commit 084c17fe0b68d391467fd48a14433443d4fcba81 (Dmitry Stogov <dmitry@zend.com>). Cases of zend_str_tolower_copy were converted to zend_string_tolower to avoid reallocations, but at least in this case, freeing was not fixed accordingly. Test script: --------------- <?php $a = md5(""); # Create a non-interned string. spl_autoload($a); # Invalid free. spl_autoload($a); # Use after free. echo "{$a} + foo\n"; # Use after free. # Notice how "foo" is not printed even if the code does not crash. # Run it a few times to get a crash. ?> Expected result: ---------------- No crash, full output. Actual result: -------------- Crash or truncated output. -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=77359&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77359&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.5): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77359&r=trysnapshot55 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77359&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77359&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77359&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77359&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77359&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77359&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77359&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77359&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77359&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77359&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77359&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77359&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77359&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77359&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77359&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77359&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77359&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77359&r=mysqlcfg
