Bug #72154 pcntl_wait/pcntl_waitpid array internal structure overwrite
Submitted: 2016-05-04 13:29 UTC Modified: 2016-05-04 18:27 UTC
From: shm@php.net Assigned:
Status: Closed Package: PCNTL related
PHP Version: 7.0.6 OS:
Private report: No CVE-ID: None
 [2016-05-04 13:29 UTC] shm@php.net
Description:
------------
If status and r_usage is the same variable, then z_rusage (if not an array) is destroyed by zval_dtor() and array in that place is created. Later status variable (which is now an array) value is overwritten by 32 bits value which comes from wait/waitpid output. An attacker is able to control internal structure of array fields, which may lead to code execution.

Test script:
---------------
<?php
$b = 666;
var_dump($b);
$c = &$b;
$var5 = pcntl_wait($b,0,$c);
unset($b);


or 

<?php
$b = 666;
var_dump($b);
$c = &$b;
$var5 = pcntl_waitpid(0,$b,0,$c);
unset($b);


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

Actual result:
--------------
$ ./php pcntl_wait.php 
int(666)
