Bug #13068 Updated: mcrypt_module_open causes seg fault

ID: 13068 Updated by: derick Reported By: scott@incursio.com Old Status: Assigned Status: Closed Bug Type: mcrypt related Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 4.0.6 Assigned To: derick New Comment: I looked into it, and mcrypt_decrypt is using the old API which does NOT work in conjunction with mcrypt_module_open. mcrypt_decrypt uses it's own mcrypt_module_open. I'm closing this bug, as there is no way to catch it (and it's not severe because you should not mix the old API and the new API). Derick Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-08-31 02:45:37] derick@php.net It's still a bug, PHP should not crash. Assiging to myself. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-08-30 20:24:52] scott@incursio.com Correction, and solution. It turns out that it wasn't mcrypt_module_open that was seg faulting, but mcrypt_decrypt. The solution was that I didn't have a generic_init call. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-08-30 17:32:01] scott@incursio.com Running PHP 4.0.6 and libmcrypt 2.4.15 on a Linux box (2.4.x kernel). I've narrowed it down to the call to mcrypt_module_open. That's the one that hoses me. $cipher = "des"; $td = mcrypt_module_open ($cipher, "", MCRYPT_MODE_CBC, ""); Sometimes it works, other times, I get seg faults, which would rule out library permissions, etc. Any ideas?
