Bug #29395 sqlite_escape_string may return a random string
Submitted: 2004-07-26 21:18 UTC Modified: 2004-07-27 19:35 UTC
From: thecwin at gmail dot com Assigned:
Status: Closed Package: SQLite related
PHP Version: 5CVS-2004-07-26 (dev) OS: XP Home and Slackware Linux
Private report: No CVE-ID: None
 [2004-07-26 21:18 UTC] thecwin at gmail dot com
Description:
------------
http://cwin.dotgeek.org/mem.php
http://cwin.redirectme.net/mem.php

If an empty string like "" is passed to a function as an argument which then passes the argument to sqlite_escape_string($arg), the returned value will be random garbage. The returned value may contain words or useless data. It looks like its reading random memory.

Similar to bug 29339, but does *not* work when passing an empty string created in the function from which it is calling sqlite_escape_string

Reproduce code:
---------------
http://cwin.redirectme.net/mem.phps

This is affected: 
<?php 
function escapeSimple($str) { 
   return @sqlite_escape_string($str); 
} 
echo escapeSimple(""); 

?> 

whereas this is not:
<?php
echo sqlite_escape_string("");
?>

Expected result:
----------------
It should return/print nothing.

Actual result:
--------------
(Possibly) random characters.
