Bug #69111 Crash in SessionHandler::read()
Submitted: 2015-02-23 20:33 UTC Modified: 2016-01-15 07:29 UTC
From: nikic@php.net Assigned: yohgaki (profile)
Status: Closed Package: Session related
PHP Version: 5.5.22 OS:
Private report: No CVE-ID: None
 [2015-02-23 20:33 UTC] nikic@php.net
Description:
------------
The script

<?php
$sh = new SessionHandler;
session_set_save_handler($sh);

$savePath = ini_get('session.save_path');
$sessionName = ini_get('session.name');

// session_start(); // Uncommenting this makes it not crash when reading the session (see below), but it will not return any data. 

$sh->open($savePath, $sessionName);
$sh->write("foo", "bar");
$sh->read($id);

Results in a crash (running with -n). Backtrace:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

The issue is that PS(id) is NULL in the following line:

362		ps_files_open(data, PS(id) TSRMLS_CC);

This is a regression from https://github.com/php/php-src/commit/16411586449c7562b840d6226f6ef55f567c35f3 which fixed bug #65475.

Since session_start() isn't called, data->lastkey isn't initialized in this case.
Session save handler is not supposed be called by user script, but it seems I should initialize session handler data by session_save_handler().

This requires additional save handler API for save handler data initialization.

In mean time, I can invade session module's save handlers (files, mm) without adding new save handler API, but 3rd party modules may crash like this.

Rather than initializing data by save handler API. I may ask all save handler developers to call session module API to check the session state.

I'll fix this by using above method.
Comments are appreciated.

I made a PoC patch for this.

https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/1248

It's not too complicated, but I would rather remove use of previously defined save handler functions as SessionHandler base class. It just makes things more complicated than needed already. I just don't think we should add more complication to it.

Used PS(session_status) to disable this kind of abuse. Fixed from PHP 5.6.
