Bug #71561 NULL pointer dereference in virtual_file_ex

Status: Closed Package: Reproducible crash

Private report: No CVE-ID: None

Description:
------------
virtual_file_ex method in the zend_virtual_cwd.c file uses a char* argument that could be NULL.
I triggered this issue through extractTo method in the PHP Zip extension (see test script), opening a not existing ZIP archive.

Vulnerable code in zend_virtual_cwd.c:

   CWD_API int virtual_file_ex(cwd_state *state, const char *path, verify_path_func verify_path, int use_realpath) /* {{{ */
   {
        // path could be NULL
	int path_length = (int)strlen(path);

The issue is triggerable via addEmptyDir and extractTo Zip extension methods, if not existing zip archive will be opened.

extractTo method in the php_zip.c file:

   /* Extract all files */
   // zip_get_num_files returns 1 (intern->nentry is equal to 1) because, I think, addEmptyDir incremented it.
   int filecount = zip_get_num_files(intern);

   if (filecount == -1) {
       // ...
   }

   for (i = 0; i < filecount; i++) {

       // zip_get_name returns NULL
       char *file = (char*)zip_get_name(intern, i, ZIP_FL_UNCHANGED);

       // php_zip_extract_file uses virtual_file_ex
       if (!php_zip_extract_file(intern, pathto, file, strlen(file))) {
           RETURN_FALSE;
       }
   }

PHP builded using:

   ./buildconf --force
   ./configure --prefix=/opt/php --enable-debug --enable-zip
   make && make install


Test script:
---------------
<?php

   $zip = new ZipArchive();

   // Open a not existing zip file
   $zip->open("/dev/shm/notexisting.zip", ZIPARCHIVE::CREATE);

   $zip->addEmptyDir("foo");

   // Program terminated with signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
   $zip->extractTo("/dev/shm/");

   $zip->close();

?>

Expected result:
----------------
PHP interpreter should not crash.

No actions could be performed by extractTo method because the zip file does not physically exist, or the "in-memory" zip archive could be handled as a normal archive (if possible).

Actual result:
--------------
PHP interpreter crashes with a SIGSEGV.
