Description: ------------ when i tried to match nested patterns my apache2 with php crashed - however for similar inputs a very similar regular expression is in use and causes no problems... (but the crash seems to be related to the number of nesting levels) Reproduce code: --------------- <?php //long test string -> crash $match= "{IF(a)}if{IF(a)}fi{IF(a)}if{ELSE}else{/IF}{ELSE}else{IF(a)}if{ELSE}else{/IF}{/IF}{ELSE}else{IF(a)}if{ELSE}else{IF(a)}if{ELSE}else{/IF}{/IF}{/IF}"; //shorter test string -> still crash, but if 1 remove the first nested {IF... it doesnt crash any more $match= "{IF(a)}if{IF(a)}fi{ELSE}else{/IF}{ELSE}else{IF(a)}if{ELSE}else{/IF}{/IF}"; $reg= '/\{IF\((.*)\)\}([^\{]+?)(\{ELSE\})?([^\{]*?)(\{\/IF\})/Us'; $matches= array(); function cback($t) { global $matches; $matches[]= $t; return '';} preg_replace_callback($reg, 'cback', $match); var_dump($matches); ?> Expected result: ---------------- array with the mathes of the regExp correctly nested... but i was in the stage of designing the regular expression itself - at least i did not expect a crash... Actual result: -------------- Apache/2.2.10 (php loaded as module) error_log: without 3rd party extensions: [notice] child pid 11335 exit signal Segmentation fault (11) with XDebug enabled: [error] [client 127.0.0.1] ALERT - possible memory corruption detected - unknown Hashtable destructor (attacker '127.0.0.1', file '/path/file.php') when running php from the command line (no crash -> no backtrace): $ php reproduce.php #same content as the code posted above! array(2) { [0]=> *RECURSION* [1]=> *RECURSION* } ALERT - possible memory corruption detected - unknown Hashtable destructor (attacker 'REMOTE_ADDR not set', file 'unknown')
