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.

segfault is reproduced when an empty Content-Type header and when no data is provided with POST request,
the content of the script does not matter, php file can be empty

The problem is related to always_populate_raw_post_data option

When I edited php.ini and set always_populate_raw_post_data = -1 the segfault  does not repeat.
Setting "always_populate_raw_post_data = off" as php.ini offers does not help, though.

Here is an `php-fpm -i` output when segfault occurs:

here's the valgrind log 
http://pastebin.com/RdNJZRX5

While I was making the valgrind log I saw errors:

please show us what the t.php 's contents is

[2015-03-06 15:27 UTC] public at grik dot net

The t.php file is empty. The issue is not relevant to the content of a script.

I compiled 5.6 over 5.5 and did not update php.ini. In 5.5 the value for always_populate_raw_post_data was "no", for in 5.6 it has to be "-1"

[2015-06-03 21:59 UTC] andrey at kostin dot email

I experience the same problem with PHP 5.6.9 under Ubuntu 14.04 with no 3rd-party libraries installed. Test script contains the following code:
<?php
echo 'ok';
?>

Request: curl --data "param1=value1" http://example.com/script.php
Response: ok

Request: curl --data "" http://example.com/script.php
Response:
  <html>
  <head><title>502 Bad Gateway</title></head>
  <body bgcolor="white">
  <center><h1>502 Bad Gateway</h1></center>
  <hr><center>nginx/1.8.0</center>
  </body>
  </html>

PHP log contains the following:
[04-Jun-2015 00:54:07] WARNING: [pool www] child 16781 exited on signal 11 (SIGSEGV - core dumped) after 45.570352 seconds from start

Setting always_populate_raw_post_data to -1 solves the problem.

[2015-06-12 09:47 UTC] andrey at kostin dot email

Not fixed in 5.6.10:

curl -X POST http://example.com/script.php

WARNING: [pool www] child 12008 exited on signal 11 (SIGSEGV - core dumped) after 1166.718710 seconds from start

Confirmed still on 5.6.21

The content-type header criteria is not relevant.

You just need a post request with an empty body using php-fpm.
It does not happen with Apache php mod.
