Bug #60801 strpbrk() mishandles NUL byte
Submitted: 2012-01-19 09:37 UTC Modified: 2012-03-02 03:36 UTC
From: dexen dot devries at gmail dot com Assigned: aharvey (profile)
Status: Closed Package: Strings related
PHP Version: 5.3.9 OS:
Private report: No CVE-ID: None

Description:
------------
PHP's strpbrk() passes its string arguments directly to libc strpbrk(), which
considers NUL byte a string-terminatig character rather than a normal part of
the string.

note that, in the test script below, the strpbrk() matches neither the NUL byte,
nor the `a' character (because it occurs after a NUL byte in $haystack), nor
even the `b' character (because it occurs after a NUL byte in $char_list).

Test script:
---------------
$haystack = "foob\x00ar";
$char_list = "a\x00b";
$v = strpbrk($haystack, $char_list);

Expected result:
----------------
$v === "b\x00ar"

Actual result:
--------------
$v === FALSE

Implemented on trunk. This should be straightforward enough to backport to 5.3 and 
5.4, but with 5.4 in code freeze at present, I'll have to revisit this a bit after 
5.4.0 final is released.
