Description:
------------
In my configuration the PHP crypt() function makes a segmentation fault in a httpd process. However this doesn't occur in command line mode using the php interpeter. 

Consequence : impossible to run any PHP applications with crypt() as PMwiki for example.

OS : Solaris10
Apache server : httpd-2.2.14

Compilation options :
./configure  --prefix=/usr/local/apache22 --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache22/bin/apxs --with-config-file-path=/usr/local/apache22/etc --enable-sockets --enable-sigchild --enable-ftp --enable-calendar --enable-wddx --enable-bcmath --enable-shmop --enable-sysvmsg --enable-sysvsem --enable-sysvshm --enable-session --enable-mbstring --enable-exif --with-regex=system --with-gettext --with-iconv=/usr/local --with-openssl=/usr/local/ssl --with-zlib-dir=/usr/local --with-bz2=/usr/local --with-libxml-dir=/usr/local --with-xpm-dir=/usr/local/X11R6 --with-png-dir=/usr/local --with-gd=/usr/local --with-freetype-dir=/usr/local --enable-gd-native-ttf --with-t1lib=/usr/local --with-ttf=/usr/local --with-gdbm=/usr/local --with-db4=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.5 --with-mysql=/infres/mysql/5.1.30 --with-ldap=/usr/local --with-curl=/usr/local --with-xsl=/usr/local --enable-soap --with-mcrypt=/usr/local/ --enable-zip

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php $foo = crypt("bar"); echo "$foo"; ?>

Expected result:
----------------
A md5 string

Actual result:
--------------
[Sat Feb 06 17:05:15 2010] [notice] child pid 17043 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)

Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we
need a backtrace to see what is happening behind the scenes. To
find out how to generate a backtrace, please read
http://bugs.php.net/bugs-generating-backtrace.php for *NIX and
http://bugs.php.net/bugs-generating-backtrace-win32.php for Win32

Once you have generated a backtrace, please submit it to this bug
report and change the status back to "Open". Thank you for helping
us make PHP better.

Additional to the backtrace: Does this always happen or "randomly" which MPM are you using?
 [2010-02-06 23:01 UTC] dax at enst dot fr
1- This incident happens always with this script (above)
2- MPM is prefork
3- Here the backtrace :

It just means crypt() returns NULL because some error happens. Is the command line PHP same version as the Apache module?

And does this crash as well:

<?php echo crypt("bar", "12"); ?>

 [2010-02-07 14:11 UTC] dax at enst dot fr
1- Same version of PHP for Apache module and client command line :

   PHP 5.2.12 (cli) (built: Feb  6 2010 22:50:58) (DEBUG)
   Copyright (c) 1997-2009 The PHP Group
   Zend Engine v2.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2009 Zend Technologies

2- With your suggested script, the request do nothing appearant,
   no new page (always the previous page) and enters in an infinite
   timeout (no cpu).

3- In my mine, I don't suspect PHP, but I would like understand 
   why this function doesn't work. I suspect the environment when
   I was building PHP, Apache, libapr* on this system.
   It works on an another server under Solaris9 with httpd-2.0.63 and
   php-5.2.9 and even on an other machine that I doesn't manage and
   I don't know architecture and OS but which is running httd-2.2.14
   and php-5.2.12 like me.
 [2010-02-07 17:35 UTC] jani@php.net
Try compare what the cli binary is linked with and what the apache module is linked with. And also, depending if there are static libraries involved, the order of libs matters as well. And you should try compiling the apache module again, this time with minimum configure options. And if crypt() works then, try adding the remaining options one by one to see which causes the problem. It's possible this is only a problem with your system involved..

Sorry to re-open, I know I have not do all things you have suggested.

 [2010-02-07 22:58 UTC] jani@php.net
Did you compile both the same time, ie. using same configure options? And it's CLI that has the libs and does not crash? Are different php.ini files used for both? Does both load same extensions? Are any shared extensions loaded? 
 [2010-02-08 14:20 UTC] dax at enst dot fr
Yes, the both was compiled at same time using:
./configure --options_stuff...
make
make install

ls -l /usr/local/apache22/bin/php /usr/local/apache22/modules//libphp5.so
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root     21154620 Feb  7 22:24 /usr/local/apache22/bin/php*
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     other    21697020 Feb  7 22:24 /usr/local/apache22/modules//libphp5.so*

Only one unique php.ini

2 scripts :
1- cryptok.php:  <?php $foo = crypt("bar", "12"); echo "$foo"; ?>
2- cryptbad.php: <?php $foo = crypt("bar"); echo "$foo"; ?>

With CLI: both scripts pass

1- scriptok  works in module apache mode
2- scriptbad crashes in module apache mode (segmentation fault)

Results seem differents about crypt algorithm:
1- scriptok  gives: 12.rYi7YWzJVI
2- scriptbad gives: $1$F4XSe/ks$7fQgb9k8xu.gzJOK0QHzO/
 [2010-02-08 15:10 UTC] johannes@php.net
Can you try using the same LD_LIBRARY_PATH when running CLI as oyur doing with Apache? Can you check whether ldd reports other libs when using CLI with this path?

Areyou running CLI and apache as the same user from the same environment or are there different users/environments used?
 [2010-02-08 15:40 UTC] dax at enst dot fr
# change LD_LIBRARY_PATH for CLI to be thes same as Apache
echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH 
/usr/local/apache22/lib:/usr/local/apache22/modules:/usr/local/apr/lib:/usr/local/gcc3/lib:/usr/local/lib

is now le same as apache running.

ldd /usr/local/apache22/modules/libphp5.so |sort >ldd-libphp
ldd /usr/local/apache22/bin/php |sort >ldd-cmdphp
diff ldd-cmdphp ldd-libphp
<nothing> 

CLI is running under root
Apache is running under nobody (as usual)

Same environment about LD_LIBRARY_PATH

mode CLI: both scripts work
mode apache:
   cryptok.php (with salt) works
   cryptbad.php (without salt) crashes

Hm no, can't be the same bug. 5.2.12 uses Solaris implementation of crypt. David, can you look at it pls?

The same bug occured with php-5.2.13 and still with php-5.2.14
not with php-5.3.2 and 5.3.3
