#36250 [NEW]: PHP Causes ORA-07445 Core dump in Oracle server 9.2.x

From: fred dot cohen at iridium dot com Operating system: Solaris 9 PHP version: 5.1.2 PHP Bug Type: OCI8 related Bug description: PHP Causes ORA-07445 Core dump in Oracle server 9.2.x Description: ------------ This isn't a bug in PHP, but I'm submitting it since Oracle currently has no patch available and it's cause isn't obvious. Using the Instant Client 10.2 and PHP 5.1.2 connecting to Oracle 9.2.0.7 we began seeing ORA-07445 errors immediately after upgrading to the versions listed. They may appear to occur intermittently, but they can happen as frequently as the oci8.ping_interval value. I've traced it down to the OCIPing call in the oci extension. It turns out any calls to OCIPing cause the error in the server. Workaround: In php.ini [oci8] section, set: oci8.ping_interval=-1 I'll provide updates about possible patches from Oracle as soon as they're able to respond. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=36250&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36250&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.1): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36250&r=trysnapshot51 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36250&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36250&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36250&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36250&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36250&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36250&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36250&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36250&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36250&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36250&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36250&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36250&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36250&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36250&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36250&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36250&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36250&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36250&r=mysqlcfg
