Bug #32912 Segfault in DOMXpath->query
Submitted: 2005-05-02 14:11 UTC Modified: 2005-05-03 13:43 UTC
From: vivers at one dot net Assigned:
Status: Not a bug Package: DOM XML related
PHP Version: 5.0.4 OS: SUSE Ent Svr 9 AMD64
Private report: No CVE-ID: None

Description:
------------
Similar to situation reported in Bug #32754.  However, installing libxml2-2.6.16 did not resolve the issue.

Calling query() method of DOMXPath where DOMDocument loaded with a document whose root element contains a namespace declaration causes segfault.

Occurred with php-5.0.4, libxml2-2.6.19 and again with 2.2.16.  Also failed with php5-STABLE-200505021035.

PHP config:
'./configure' \
'--with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs' \
'--with-mysqli=/usr/local/bin/mysql_config' \
'--with-openssl=/usr/local' \
'--with-libxml-dir=/usr/local' \
'--enable-debug' \

Apache/mod_ssl config:
./configure \
"--with-apache=../apache_1.3.33" \
"--with-ssl=../openssl-0.9.7g" \
"--with-mm=../mm-1.3.1" \
"--prefix=/usr/local/apache" \
"--enable-shared=ssl" \
"--disable-rule=SSL_COMPAT" \
"--with-layout=Apache" \
"--enable-rule=SSL_SDBM" \
"--enable-shared=max" \
"--enable-module=ssl" \

Does not occur on Dreamhost server running Linux 2.4.29 and running PHP in CGI mode--PHP-5.0.3 and libxml2-2.6.11.  That same combination also generated the segfault on the SUSE box.


Reproduce code:
---------------
Code from bug #32754:

<?php
$x = new DOMDocument();

// This line gives a segmentation fault.
$x->loadXml( '<template xmlns="http://blah.com"/>');

// ... but if i comment the line above out and uncomment the next line
// there are no issues. It does not matter what xmlns is set to in the line
// above.
//$x->loadXml( '<template/>' );

$xpath = new DOMXPath( $x );
$nodelist = $xpath->query( '/*' );
?>

Works fine with CGI version of php5-STABLE-200505021035.  Segfaults in Apache module, both http and https call.

Expected result:
----------------
Return nothing and no segfault

Actual result:
--------------

"Works fine with CGI version of php5-STABLE-200505021035.  Segfaults in
Apache module, both http and https call." should be "CLI" not "CGI".

Still "CGI" in:
"Does not occur on Dreamhost server running Linux 2.4.29 and running PHP
in CGI mode--PHP-5.0.3 and libxml2-2.6.11.  That same combination also
generated the segfault on the SUSE box."

Hope that doesn't confuse the issue.

This is a libxml bug causing memory corruption when using namespaces and xpath (or xslt). You are just one of the *lucky* ones who experiences the crash. There's a patch, not yet in cvs, on the libxml mailing list so it should make it into next libxml2 release.
BTW: The 2.6.11 issue is a different libxml bug which was fixed.

Thanks for the quick response.  I'll dig up the patch.
