Description:
------------
I am using crack 0.4 and php 5.2.0 (also reproducible with latest CVS snapshot as of today, 11/20/06).  A "heap corrupted" message is output and then php segfaults.  The strange thing is, it crashes when $passwd is set to "jeffpass", but other strings I have tried do not cause the crash.

I reported this as a PHP bug and I was redirected here.  See http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=39558

Reproduce code:
---------------
Code to reproduce is located here:
http://www.cs.ucsb.edu/~jeff/crashes.phps

$ php crashes.php
Heap corrupted
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Expected result:
----------------
Should loop through dictionaries and return from function successfully - this same code works fine in php 5.1.6.

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

Could you please make available the crack dictionaries (and if possible, their source wordlist)?

I will analyse this bug during the next days; if your project deadlines (if any) are close, I will try to prioritise working on this bug.

Thanks for reporting this bug.

[2006-11-20 15:26 UTC] sheltren at cs dot ucsb dot edu

Thanks for the quick response.  I no longer have the original word lists, but I've created a tarball of the dictionary files here:
http://www.cs.ucsb.edu/~jeff/dictionaries.tar.gz

If you need any other information, please let me know.

[2006-11-20 17:26 UTC] skettler@php.net

There seems to be an internal error (maybe overflowing some buffer) when checking against the "eci-wordlist" dictionary although that dictionary looks fine (unpacking and repacking gives an identical dictionary).

Could you use your script without that (tiny) dictionary until I have investigated the problem further?

[2006-11-20 18:26 UTC] sheltren at cs dot ucsb dot edu

Yeah, when I added 15 or so more words to that one word dictionary, I no longer experience the segfault.

Thanks for looking into this.

[2012-06-07 16:18 UTC] felipe@php.net

Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we
need a short but complete example script to be able to reproduce
this bug ourselves. 

A proper reproducing script starts with <?php and ends with ?>,
is max. 10-20 lines long and does not require any external 
resources such as databases, etc. If the script requires a 
database to demonstrate the issue, please make sure it creates 
all necessary tables, stored procedures etc.

Please avoid embedding huge scripts into the report.

Have you experienced this yet?

[2013-02-18 00:35 UTC] pecl-dev at lists dot php dot net

No feedback was provided. The bug is being suspended because
we assume that you are no longer experiencing the problem.
If this is not the case and you are able to provide the
information that was requested earlier, please do so and
change the status of the bug back to "Open". Thank you.
