Bug #53837 Gettext extension crashes PHP/Apache
Submitted: 2011-01-25 18:49 UTC Modified: 2011-07-18 12:34 UTC
From: elacunza at binovo dot es Assigned: pajoye (profile)
Status: Closed Package: Gettext related
PHP Version: 5.3.5 OS: Windows
Private report: No CVE-ID: None
 [2011-01-25 18:49 UTC] elacunza at binovo dot es
Description:
------------
We have an application working just fine on windows 2008 + apache 2.2.17 + php 5.2.17 .

We updated to 5.3.5 and found repeatable PHP crashes, from within Apache and also from command line.

It is repeatable, but not always (it crashes about 9 of 10 runs). Server is virtualized as guest in a KVM host (debian lenny).


Test script:
---------------
<?php
$a = _('Albaran');
?>


Expected result:
----------------
I expected a clean end of php, with no output.

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

Which version/build do you use? VC9 or VC6? If VC6 please try using VC9. It should 
work in the CLI too. Btw, does it happen in CLI too?

VC6 thread safe version version due to Apache. The backtrace has been generated from CLI using VC6 ts.

I just tested the script with VC9 on the cli ts and it also crashes. Backtrace for VC9:

No idea what's wrong on your config but gettext works just fine here.

Does it crash when no translation data are used? (no po) Or only when it 
actually does the translation? If the former, pls send me the translation data 
so I can try to reproduce your problem.

Also the backtrace for VC9 looks wrong, it should not use msvcrt at all but the 
VC9 versions. It looks to me that there is a DLL mess on your box. Such DLLs 
mess causes free/heapfree crashes as different crt are use to alloc and freed a 
given resource.

Sorry, I copied the wrong backtrace (it is a yesterday backtrace). 
There is no translation for the string.

Ok, I checked the LANG environment variable, and it is unset.

If I do set it (set LANG=esp), then test script doesn't crash. If I unset it again (set LANG=) then it crashes again.

I think that in out application we could be trying to translate some string before gettext environment is set up, so this could be the reason to our application crashing.

Anyway, seems PHP should not crash if no LANG is set? :-)

It works perfectly now from the command line, so I'd say you found the bug and killed it ;)

I fixed also our app not to try to translate string before setting up environment, and it seems to work ok now with 5.3.5.

Thanks a lot!
