Description:
------------
While fuzzing PHP 7.0.0-dev (cli) (built: Jul 12 2015 03:27:06) I came across a script that causes a segfault (and possible stack corruption) in zend_call_function (zend_execute_API.c:696). It also appears to affect PHP 5.4.41-0+deb7u1 (cli) (built: May 22 2015 12:49:18).



Test script:
---------------
<?php
class wp0{private$d;function __get($e){$wp0=new wp0;$wp0->e;}}function c(){(0);}$wp0=new wp0;$wp0->i;

Expected result:
----------------
No crash.

Actual result:
--------------
==12935== Stack overflow in thread 1: can't grow stack to 0x7fe801fe8
==12935==
==12935== Process terminating with default action of signal 11 (SIGSEGV)

==12935==    at 0x1622978: zend_call_method (zend_interfaces.c:43)
==12935==  If you believe this happened as a result of a stack

==12935==  possible), you can try to increase the size of the
==12935==  main thread stack using the --main-stacksize= flag.

Description: Possible stack corruption
Short description: PossibleStackCorruption (7/22)
Hash: fdacf7bfdade269be71df9a402726823.9a75f6ab0bd3a6de69a05282ade5ee5d
Exploitability Classification: EXPLOITABLE
Explanation: GDB generated an error while unwinding the stack and/or the stack contained return addresses that were not mapped in the inferior's process address space and/or the stack pointer is pointing to a location outside the default stack region. These conditions likely indicate stack corruption, which is generally considered exploitable.

I've retested this with PHP 7.0.0-dev (cli) (built: Jul 15 2015 16:00:56) and the test case I provided still crashes:

This is not a stack corruption.
This is a stack overflow caused by infinity recursion in PHP code.
I wouldn't interpret this like a bug at all.
