Bug #45327 [PATCH] memory leak if offsetGet throws exception (PHP_5_2 branch only!)
Submitted: 2008-06-21 17:36 UTC Modified: 2009-02-17 17:09 UTC
From: cellog@php.net Assigned: dmitry (profile)
Status: Closed Package: Scripting Engine problem
PHP Version: 5.2CVS-2008-06-21 OS: linux 64bit
Private report: No CVE-ID: None
 [2008-06-21 17:36 UTC] cellog@php.net
Description:
------------
ext/phar's test phar_offset_get_error.phpt fails with leaked memory in zend_execute_API.c:1023, which is where retval is allocated.  It turns out that if offsetGet() throws an exception, zend_std_read_dimension() does not free the return zval, and it leaks.  This only affects PHP 5.2.  The patch to fix is at http://pear.php.net/~greg/fix_leak.patch.txt and is pasted below

Reproduce code:

ext/phar is not a part of PHP_5_2 branch, and I don't see any leaks in PHP_5_3. Do you still have this leak? Could you provide a script that causes leak on PHP_5_2 (without ext/phar) or PHP_5_3 (with phar).
 [2008-09-02 16:14 UTC] cellog@php.net
yes, to reproduce, cp ext/phar from PHP_5_3 into PHP_5_2 and run the test I described
