Bug #45751 [PATCH] Using auto_prepend_file crashes (out of scope stack address use).
Submitted: 2008-08-08 04:35 UTC Modified: 2008-08-24 08:17 UTC
From: basant dot kukreja at sun dot com Assigned: dmitry (profile)
Status: Closed Package: Scripting Engine problem
PHP Version: 5.2.6 OS: Solaris 10
Private report: No CVE-ID: None
 [2008-08-08 04:35 UTC] basant dot kukreja at sun dot com
Description:
------------
Stack pointer &execute_data.opline (&EG(opline)) is used beyond the scope and hence crashes php with auto_preprend_file.

I wrote a small test plugin : test.c and then loaded the plugin into php using php.ini
extension=test.so

$ ./sapi/cli/php -d "auto_prepend_file=inc.inc" -d "include_path=/opt2/coolstackbld/svn/CoolStackDev/src/php5/php-5.2.6/tests/lang" -f /tmp/test.php
Included!
Segmentation Fault (core dumped)


Reproduce code:
---------------
Test plugin location : (skydrive) :
http://yqaghq.blu.livefilestore.com/y1phzvjT69U9PiUNjW9NjakZZ5It3VOAEhADJusnkoorLiwGfeVlK6zTz-8AprvloPplXlNkaHUYD9sS9idFWZhcg/test.c?download

Expected result:
----------------
Normal behaviour

Actual result:
--------------
php crashes

$ pstack core
core 'core' of 23827:   ./sapi/cli/php -d auto_prepend_file=inc.inc -d include_path=/opt2/cool
 003b8e4c zend_get_executed_lineno (5be8a0, 5897c, ffe39448, 55570c, ff1531c0, 57400) + 3c

 000a8f28 _start   (0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0) + 108

 Debugger showed that it was crashing in line 394 of zend_execute_API.c :
391  ZEND_API uint zend_get_executed_lineno(TSRMLS_D)
392  {
393  	if (EG(opline_ptr)) {
394  		return active_opline->lineno;

EG(online_ptr) points to arbitrary value ( a pointer value in stack) and it
crashes in active_opline->lineno.
active_opline->lineno is *EG(opline_ptr)


We found this issue when php was crashing while dtrace plugin was loaded :
$ ./sapi/cli/php -d "auto_prepend_file=inc.inc" -d "include_path=/opt2/coolstackbld/svn/CoolStackDev/src/php5/php-5.2.6/tests/lang" -f /tmp/test.php

To simpilfy thing, I wrote my test plugin and reproduced the crash.

The issue was that we are saving stack address execute_data.opline into
EG(opline_ptr) in execute function in zend_vm_execute.h (line 74). 
	EG(opline_ptr) = &EX(opline);

After function execute is finished, EG(opline_ptr) is not reset to NULL. This
point to previously used stack. Fix is that before we return we should set
EG(opline_ptr) to NULL.

Please note that  execute data is a local variable in execute function.
execute_data.opline is a stack variable. It's address is stored
in global EG(opline_ptr). Global variable EG(opline_ptr) needs to be cleared
before the function returns.

I was waiting for my suggested fix to be committed. I am able to reproduce the bug in recent sources as mentioned in Comment 3 (Aug 8th).

Dmitry, can you check this out?
 [2008-08-21 13:42 UTC] dmitry@php.net
This bug has been fixed in CVS.

Snapshots of the sources are packaged every three hours; this change
will be in the next snapshot. You can grab the snapshot at
http://snaps.php.net/.
 
Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.

Thank you for fixing the bug.
I think you have added the line in ZEND_VM_RETURN_FROM_EXECUTE_LOOP
	EG(opline_ptr) = NULL; \


Is there any option available where I can see the exact patch for the bug? I would like to use the patch in 5.2.6.

Is there anything else needed to fix this bug?

I would appreciate any response.
