Description:
------------
WordPress sites with certain plugins enabled cause a segmentation fault. Several different sites with different plugins cause this and the segmentation fault is the same. I have not encountered the issue with any isolated PHP script so I cannot currently be more specific than this.

Commenting out most of the _zend_hash_del_el() function resolves the issue, however this must either reduce performance, cause memory leaks or other anomalies, so if anything this is a temporary workaround:

static zend_always_inline void _zend_hash_del_el(HashTable *ht, uint32_t idx, Bucket *p)
{
    Bucket *prev = NULL;

    /*if (!(ht->u.flags & HASH_FLAG_PACKED)) {
        uint32_t nIndex = p->h & ht->nTableMask;
        uint32_t i = ht->arHash[nIndex];

        if (i != idx) {
            prev = ht->arData + i;
            while (Z_NEXT(prev->val) != idx) {
                i = Z_NEXT(prev->val);
                prev = ht->arData + i;
            }
        }
    }*/

    _zend_hash_del_el_ex(ht, idx, p, prev);
}

Test script:
---------------
I am not able to identify exactly what code causes the segmentation fault so cannot provide a test script at this current point in time, but the segmentation fault is 100% reproducible on my system.

Expected result:
----------------
No segmentation fault.

Actual result:
--------------
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

(gdb) print idx

The issue is apparently here:
658: while (Z_NEXT(prev->val) != idx) {

However, I am not sure if the fault lies in _zend_hash_del_el() itself or if _zend_hash_del_el() is being called with incorrect arguments.

An identical segmentation fault occurs when calling this WordPress index.php script through apache2 with PHP as a SAPI module.

could you please run wordpress index.php with valgrind..

like:

USE_ZEND_ALLOC=0 valgrind path-to-php/bin/php wordpress/index.php

and paste the output out?

thanks

hmmm, could you please use bt -full ?

I needs to see what i is, and what ht->arData is

thanks

"i" is optimised out and I see no mention of "arData". I will try and recompile with -O0 when I find the appropriate setting in the Makefile and then I'll post my findings here. In the meantime, this is the output of `bt full` (with -O2, I *think*) in gdb:

I have been able to replicate this on an isolated system with one of the affected WordPress installs. The issue seems to be directly related to opcache being loaded. With 'zend_extension=opcache.so' commented out in php.ini, the segmentation fault no longer occurs.

For the record, the php.ini file was the same as that recommended on the official PHP wiki (https://wiki.php.net/phpng):

max_execution_time=600
memory_limit=128M
error_reporting=E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE
display_errors=1
log_errors=1
user_ini.filename=
realpath_cache_size=2M
cgi.check_shebang_line=0
upload_max_filesize = 1024M
post_max_size = 1024M

zend_extension=opcache.so
opcache.enable_cli=1
opcache.save_comments=0
opcache.fast_shutdown=1
opcache.validate_timestamps=1
opcache.revalidate_freq=60
opcache.use_cwd=1
opcache.max_accelerated_files=100000
opcache.max_wasted_percentage=5
opcache.memory_consumption=128
opcache.consistency_checks=0

I have e-mailed you root access to an isolated virtual machine containing the WordPress install that exhibits this bug.
