Bug #79710 Reproducible segfault in error_handler during GC involved an SplFileObject
Submitted: 2020-06-18 07:10 UTC Modified: 2020-06-19 08:35 UTC
From: sam at hellosam dot net Assigned:
Status: Closed Package: Reproducible crash
PHP Version: 7.3Git-2020-06-18 (Git) OS: Ubuntu Linux 20.04 LTS
Private report: No CVE-ID: None
 [2020-06-18 07:10 UTC] sam at hellosam dot net
Description:
------------
Upon calling flock() on a destructed SplFileObject, which is being destructed eariler in the shutdown process while still accessible in another static object yet to be destructed, it will raise an error as expected and calling error_handler, but then the PHP error handling code would cause segmentation fault in the Zend VM engine.

It is beyond my knowledge to understand why that particular error handling code would cause error. The issue was found in my production system using CakePHP, I adopted a few lines of that in the repro script and could 100% reproduce the problem.

---

Affected version:
* 7.3 GIT 2020-06-13 (verified on 5621c5f)
* 7.3.19
* 7.2 GIT 2020-06-13 (verified on f5b1c32)
* 7.2.31
* On 7.4 branch - fe8fdfa3 is the last commit that shows the error behavior. e219ec144 fixed it. (This is by bisecting the master branch, I don't understand why though)
* On Ubuntu 18.04 LTS latest php-cli package [1:7.2+60ubuntu1] which is PHP 7.2.24-0ubuntu0.18.04.6

Unaffected version (Does not reproduce on):
* 7.4.7
* 7.4 GIT 2020-06-13
* On Ubuntu 20.04 LTS latest php-cli package [7.4.3-4ubuntu2.2] which is PHP 7.4.3

Except for the ubuntu package, I tested by building from GIT source with the following:
./buildconf && ./configure && make -j 4

Test script:
---------------
Repro script:
https://gist.githubusercontent.com/it9gamelog/1f4d0465c5a83faf488bf15c2927a01b/raw/f0a2b74c3837bf8d5bdb19ac15c2d13d53cde061/test.php

from GIST Link:
https://gist.github.com/it9gamelog/1f4d0465c5a83faf488bf15c2927a01b

Expected result:
----------------
Expecting seeing no segmentation fault.

Actual result:
--------------
GDB info with GIT fe8fdfa3 built from source on Ubuntu 20.04:

This also happens on newer versions (7.4, master), it just doesn't crash. There's use-after-free under valgrind.
 [2020-06-19 08:35 UTC] nikic@php.net
Smaller reproducer for valgrind:

<?php
  
class Target
{
    public $sfo;
    public function __construct($sfo) {
        $this->sfo = $sfo;
    }
    public function __destruct() {
        // If the SplFileObject is destructed first,
        // underlying FD is no longer valid and will cause error upon calling flock
        $this->sfo->flock(2);
    }
}

class Run
{
    static $sfo;
    static $foo;
    public static function main() {
        // Creation ordering is important for repro
        // $sfo needed to be destructed before $foo.
        Run::$sfo = new SplTempFileObject();
        Run::$foo = new Target(Run::$sfo);
    }
}

Run::main();
