#25713 [Bgs]: endless self call loop

ID: 25713 Updated by: moriyoshi@php.net Reported By: kevin at netflex dot nl Status: Bogus Bug Type: Reproducible crash Operating System: Windows/Netware and maybe more PHP Version: 4.3.3 New Comment: Anyway, that's expected behaviour as stated in other bug reports. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-10-01 13:23:07] moriyoshi@php.net You should first try hard to crash it with that tiny script. If it really was to go wrong, then reopen this bug to let us know what did actually happen on your server :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-10-01 11:49:00] kevin at netflex dot nl i know, (mistake from me ;-). But now the problem is that i can crash the server if i want by making an endless loop (with calls). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-10-01 11:36:57] moriyoshi@php.net function crash(&$test) { if ($test < 10) crash($test); $test++; } There's no chance $test is incremented. So no matter how the variable is passed to the function, it will definitely go into an infinite loop and end up eating up all the stack area which really causes segmentation fault. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-10-01 11:14:45] kevin at netflex dot nl 1. we did 2. buffer overflow?? is this normal for you?? 3. i don't agree, i could crash any php hosting if i want. ;-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-10-01 10:33:30] sniper@php.net 1. You didn't search the bug database first 2. This is expected. 3. We won't "fix" it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
