Submitted: 2017-02-22 04:11 UTC Modified: 2018-01-15 12:18 UTC
From: varsleak at gmail dot com Assigned: stas (profile)
Status: Closed Package: WDDX related
PHP Version: 5.6Git-2017-02-22 (Git) OS: Ubuntu 16.40 x64

Description:
------------
I use honggfuzz fuzz php, I found that wddx extended Invalid free caused a Denial of Service vulnerability.

The test file: 
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/varsleak/varsleak-vul/master/php-src-vul/crash.xml

Test script:
---------------
<?php
	$data = file_get_contents($argv[1]);
	$wddx = wddx_deserialize($data);
	var_dump($wddx);
?>


Expected result:
----------------
Out put:
`
array(0) {
}
`

no crash.

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