Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=77544&edit=1 ID: 77544 Updated by: cmb@php.net Reported by: insi_2304 at ymail dot com Summary: stack-buffer-overflow while using eval in php 5.6.40 Status: Duplicate Type: Bug Package: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: Kali Linux PHP Version: 5.6.40 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: > @cmb: Maybe you know how to do that? Done. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-01-30 17:54:34] nikic@php.net The linked bug was fixed only in PHP 7.0 and above. The actual release date is not relevant here, it's a matter of which branch the bug fix landed on. This particular change only went into PHP 7, but not PHP 5. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-01-30 17:48:27] insi_2304 at ymail dot com The bug status should be anything other than duplicate as the bug#70430 was fixed in 2015 itself. I think it is different code path in the Zend language parser that is why it is still present in the 5.6.40 for which the release date is 10-jan-2019. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-01-30 15:13:13] nikic@php.net PHP 5.6 is EOL, so it will not be fixed there, no. You are right though that PHP 5.6 and PHP 7.0 probably shouldn't appear on the download page anymore. @cmb: Maybe you know how to do that? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-01-30 15:03:09] insi_2304 at ymail dot com Shouldn't it be fixed in 5.6.40 as it is being provided on main website, not even in the archive downloads to download it and this was the reason why I started testing it ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-01-30 14:53:57] nikic@php.net This is bug #70430, which has been fixed in PHP 7.0. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
