Sec Bug #54304 Invalid read in RegexIterator::accept() causes crash
Submitted: 2011-03-18 11:21 UTC Modified: 2011-09-12 13:22 UTC
From: decoder-php at own-hero dot net Assigned: pajoye (profile)
Status: Closed Package: Reproducible crash
PHP Version: 5.3.6 OS: Linux x86-64
Private report: No CVE-ID: None
 [2011-03-18 11:21 UTC] decoder-php at own-hero dot net
Description:
------------
The attached code crashes on PHP 5.3 and trunk. It seems particularly dangerous because the address where the invalid read happens is directly assignable. I didn't have more time to look into this but it might be possible to do arbitrary memory reading with this vulnerability.

Test script:
---------------
<?php
class foo extends ArrayIterator {
        public function __construct( ) {
                parent::__construct(array(
                'test3'=>'test999'));
        }
}
$h = new foo;
$i = new RegexIterator($h, '/^test(.*)/', RegexIterator::REPLACE);
$i->replacement = 3735928559; // 0xdeadbeef
foreach ($i as $name=>$value) {
}
?>

Actual result:
--------------
