Re: base64_encode() memory issue

Do you have a patch which you think should be applied? If not, can you send a reproducing script (a short one). Maybe you want to run it through valgrind and see where the damage is done. Andi At 04:44 PM 12/28/2004 +0100, Ron Korving wrote:

Hi, I'm not sure how to test what I noticed, so I figured I would post this here and see if any of you could test it and see if I'm correct. When I test this in a non-PHP environment with malloc(), this does present a problem however, and when running segfaults randomly appear because of it. In base64.c, the string is closed with a \0 byte, but this one byte is never allocated. Since it's just 1 byte, this often happens without causing trouble, but every once in a while it does cause a segfault. I hope someone can confirm this.
