Bug #15333 Updated: strndup access violation

ID: 15333 Updated by: jtate@php.net Reported By: david@harksystems.com Status: Feedback Bug Type: IIS related Operating System: Windows 2000 Pro PHP Version: 4.1.1 New Comment: Nevermind. That's not the problem. Still looking. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-04 13:23:18] jtate@php.net I think I've found the problem: ZEND_API char *zend_strndup(const char *s, uint length) { char *p; p = (char *) malloc(length+1); if (!p) { return (char *)NULL; } if (length) { memcpy(p, s, length); } p[length] = 0; return p; } If this is changed to ZEND_API char *zend_strndup(const char *s, uint length) { char *p; p = (char *) malloc(length+1); if (!p) { return (char *)NULL; } if (length) { memcpy(p, s, length); p[length] = 0; } return p; } does that break anything? I think the problem comes in when length==0. I can't really reproduce this problem though. I saw it once a couple of days ago, but havn't seen it since. Also will one of you that's having this problem please check to see if 4.2.0 RC 2 still has this problem? Since 4.2.0 is going to be released really soon now, I'd like to get this worked through (but if it doesn't happen anymore under 4.2.0 then we're worrying about nothing). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-04 10:27:27] develop@dnet.net I've been having the same problem. Win2k (All security updates) IIS 5.0 Pentium III 733 ISAPI Version 4.1.2 I switched security on each virtual directory to 'Low(IIS Process) and haven't gotten the error since. This isn't a satisfactory fix, but maybe it'll help figure out what is causing the problem. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-04 10:09:46] jtate@php.net Bug #16362 was marked a duplicate of this bug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-03 19:35:48] agustinchernitsky@hotmail.com I got this error after aplying the lateste security updates on my win2k server. It works fine at the begginig but after 5 mins I get this error. It hangs all the IIS service. This doesn't happen in CGI mode. OS: Win2K Server Patches: SP2 + Lateste Security updates System: P3 @ 550 Mhz - 256 MB RAM PHP VER: 4.1.2. PHP Mode: ISAPI ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-02-19 09:06:12] david@harksystems.com Nope, I am not using Zend Encoder or Optimizer.
