Description:
------------
I'm trying to fetch a gzipped item from a web server and inflate it using the zlib inflate filter.

This causes a segfault.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
	echo "Registered filters: --- \n\n";
	print_r(stream_get_filters());
	
	$opts = array(
		'http'=>array(
			'method'=>"GET",
			'header' => "Accept-Encoding:gzip"
		)
  	);
	$ctx = stream_context_create($opts);
	$url = "http://www.vectrex.org.uk/mark/web/test.txt.gz";
	
	$f = fopen($url, "r", false, $ctx);
	echo "appending filter...\n";
	stream_filter_append($f, 'zlib.inflate', STREAM_FILTER_READ);
	echo "filter appended, getting data....\n";
	$data = stream_get_contents($f);
	$metadata = stream_get_meta_data($f);
	fclose($f);
	
	echo "METADATA: ----- \n\n";
	print_r($metadata);
	
	echo "DATA: ----- \n\n";
	print $data ;
?>

Expected result:
----------------
The file will be printed uncompressed. This is intended to use the CLI SAPI.

Actual result:
--------------
Registered filters: --- 

Array
(
    [0] => string.rot13
    [1] => string.toupper
    [2] => string.tolower
    [3] => string.strip_tags
    [4] => convert.*
    [5] => convert.iconv.*
    [6] => zlib.*
)
appending filter...

Then it crashes with a segfault, stack trace is:

I've tried this again on snapshot php5.1-200602241730, it crashes in the same place. The gdb stack trace is almost identical so I haven't posted it.

Doesn't happen with the http.inflate filter.
I might have alook at it another day.

zlib.inflate cannot handle gzip data (only *raw* deflated data; note that this is not what a web server would return as deflate encoded content).

If the version requirement for libz would be raised to 1.2.2, 0x2f could be passed to inflateInit2 as window bits, which would cause libz to try to inflate gzip as well as zlib encoded data (AKA Content-Ecnoding: deflate); though a check would be needed for Z_DATA_ERROR and a second try with -MAX_WBITS (for raw deflated data) should be started at the first run.

However this is not the root cause of the SEGV. It seems related to making the incoming bucket writable and freeing the bucket before returning a fatal error to the stream filter layer.

Assigning to Sara, as she's written the zlib filter and should decide what's going to happen.

I suggest you use the http.inflate filter of the PECL http package in the meantime.

Fixed. See 38648
