which version php did you test?
 [2018-10-14 08:45 UTC] zzw20124321 at gmail dot com 
I test on this version
http://php.net/get/php-7.2.11.tar.bz2/from/a/mirror


configure
./configure   --enable-mbstring   --with-curl   --with-openssl   --with-xmlrpc   --enable-soap   --enable-zip   --with-gd   --with-jpeg-dir   --with-png-dir   --with-mysql   --with-pgsql   --enable-embedded-mysqli   --with-freetype-dir   --enable-intl   --with-xsl   --with-sodium --enable-ftp --with-zlib

make with -fsanitize=address






if you want a crashes, try this. or change args 2 nums.

<?php
function test()
{
        return sodium_pad(NULL, 2097152);
}
test();
?>


I test on my pc :

~/php-7.2.11$ php ../crashxxxx.php
Segmentation fault

~/php-7.2.11$ cat ../crashxxxx.php
<?php
function test()
{
        return sodium_pad(NULL, 2097152);
}
test();
?>

It has been fixed in version 2.0.13:  https://github.com/jedisct1/libsodium-php/commit/a628f63a43bb9ede2a6c4655c63da1f1c1c61c63

The change has been backported to the code shipped with PHP.

Is this  belongs to security problem? Can you open a cve for this?
 [2018-10-14 09:47 UTC] jedisct1@php.net 
This will crash  the process (just like ini_set('memory_limit',-1); $a = str_repeat('x', 2147483647); $b = $a . $a;) but you won't be able to read any interesting content from the heap that way.

Even if it succeeds with an empty string as an input, the real sodium_pad() function will be called right after, and fill the destination buffer with zeros.

Since i can't get any data from php memory, but I can crash php. So maybe this can DDos.

 [2018-10-14 16:52 UTC] stas@php.net 
Since this requires specially crafted arguments not likely to be encountered in regular code, as per https://wiki.php.net/security it is not a security issue. Since it's already fixed, I am closing it.
