Description:
------------
Hi,

Is the session_adapt_url function ever used?

Or, php_url_scanner_adapt_single_url?

Inside php_url_scanner_adapt_single_url there is a null pointer dereference:


389        if (newlen) *newlen = buf.s->len;
390        result = estrndup(buf.s->val, buf.s->len);


but it is initalized with {0}.

The function isn't used anywhere, though.

Should it be removed?

session_adapt_url() or php_url_scanner_adapt_single_url() is used for trans sid. i.e. session.use_trans_sid = 1.

With a quick look, the buf could be NULL when there is no inputs. (This would only happens with zend_smart_str, I suppose) I don't use trans sid at all. Could you make a simple reproducible test script? Please don't forget to send your INI setting.

I can't find where it is used:

megamansec@megamansec:~/php-src$ grep -nr 'session_adapt_url'
ext/session/session.c:1609:PHPAPI void session_adapt_url(const char *url, size_t urllen, char **new, size_t *newlen) /* {{{ */
ext/session/php_session.h:224:PHPAPI void session_adapt_url(const char *, size_t, char **, size_t *);

megamansec@megamansec:~/php-src$ 



Is it not in master anymore?


Thanks,

Thank you for the insight. I'll check see if trans sid works (I supposed to work).

I checked source and it cannot be null.
The unused function seems intended for external modules, so I made it useable.
