PHP Bug Type: mcrypt related
Bug description: mcrypt_create_iv: unterminated string & segfault
mcrypt_create_iv(mcrypt_get_iv_size (MCRYPT_DES , MCRYPT_MODE_ECB),
MCRYPT_RAND) produces following error and causes apache to segfault:
Warning - String is not zero-terminated
source: zend_execute_API.c:274
Workaround:
Replace the mcrypt_create_iv call with:
$fp = fopen("/dev/random", "r");
$iv = fread($fp, mcrypt_get_iv_size (MCRYPT_DES ,
MCRYPT_MODE_ECB));
fclose($fp);
Better: Should be fixed.
