Bug #59138 Missing EOF detection in ssh2.sftp:// streams
Submitted: 2010-03-30 09:07 UTC Modified: 2011-09-21 13:28 UTC
From: daniel dot mueller at inexio dot net Assigned: bjori (profile)
Status: Closed Package: ssh2 (PECL)
PHP Version: 5.3.1 OS: FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE
Private report: No CVE-ID: None

Description:
------------
php_ssh2_sftp_stream_read() doesn't check for the End OF File condition.
So, feof() on such streams always returns false.

Also negative return values from libssh2_sftp_read aren't handled, correctly.

I have attached a patch which fixes these problems in php_ssh2_sftp_stream_read (and php_ssh2_sftp_stream_write, which has similar problems)

Reproduce code:
---------------
Example:

<?php

// create sftp ressource $sftp

$h = fopen("ssh2.sftp://$sftp/tmp/testfile", 'r');

while (!feof($h)) {
    echo(fread($h,10));
}
?>

Here is the patch:

Expected result:
----------------
The example outputs the file and ends.

Actual result:
--------------
Without the patch, the loop runs forever.

(The code in the bug report got wrapped)

Same here !

OS: Ubuntu 10.4 TLS
PHP version : 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.5

Test script:
---------------
#!/usr/bin/php
<?php
$connection = ssh2_connect('my.hostname.com', 22);
ssh2_auth_password($connection, 'mylogin', 'mypassword');
$sftp = ssh2_sftp($connection);
$stream = fopen('ssh2.sftp://'.$sftp.'/home/mylogin/test', 'w');
fwrite($stream, "bob");
fclose($stream);

print_r(file_get_contents('ssh2.sftp://'.$sftp.'/home/mylogin/test'));
//Works fine !

$source_handle = fopen('ssh2.sftp://'.$sftp.'/home/mylogin/test', "r");
if($source_handle){
       while (!feof($source_handle)) { //Infinite loop
               $buffer = fread($source_handle,1024);
               echo "*".$buffer."*";
       }
       fclose($source_handle);
}
?>

Expected result:
----------------
bob*bob*

Actual result:
--------------
bob*bob*********************************************... and so on.

Is this issue likely to be acknowledged by the developers any 
time soon? It was submitted over a year ago, a fix is 
supplied and the library is still broken today.

Reproducible using PHP 5.3.5/libssh2-php 0.11.2-1

An ugly workaround for now is to check the accumulative size 
of the file you're reading against the total file size.

This bug has been fixed in SVN.

In case this was a documentation problem, the fix will show up at the
end of next Sunday (CET) on pecl.php.net.

In case this was a pecl.php.net website problem, the change will show
up on the website in short time.
 
Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PECL better.
