Description:
------------
Developing a library on macos (10.14.6) in a form of middleware to facilitate secure use of sessions. This lib should work from PHP 7.1.

Problems appear when using built in session_create_id in class method function when session is already running (to test collision). This always end up by crashing (Segfault 11) during tests with phpunit (7.5.20) for PHP 7.1.33, 7.2.13, 7.3.12 like in Bug #78295.
It also randomly crash or memory leak alert in production environement. Refactored the code to prevent recursive calls but problem still occurs until december 2019.

These days, I've decided to dig into PHP source code for the session ext with my rusty rudimentary C knowledge and as described in this Bug #77178, i found that control collision is not against  SUCCESS but against FAILURE resulting in rejection of collision free ids 3 times and emission of warning "Failed to create new ID » in the next « if else » block.

But for me it just crashes !!

Then i found related Bug #79091 and test my code against 7.2.27 and 7.3.14 (where new_id = NULL was added) and no more crash but warning  « session_create_id(): Failed to create new ID in… »

Just asking if this necessary fix (pointed by @yohgaki in his comment of [2018-11-21] in this bug #77178) is going to roll out and be implemented in a minor update to avoid warnings ? 

Is it gonna be fixed also for PHP 7.1 branch for legacy reason to avoid crashes and warnings? 

Thx for your work guys :)

Test script:
---------------
<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

use PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase;

/**
 * Session crash tests
 * @runTestsInSeparateProcesses
 *
 * Note: this annotation is used to avoid problem of header already sent
 */
final class SessionCrashTest extends TestCase
{
    public function testSession(): void
    {
        \session_start();
        \session_create_id();

        $this->assertTrue(true);

        return;
    }
}

Well, the crash is irrelevant now since it has been fixed; that
fix will not be backported to older versions, because we're not
supporting these anymore[1].

Thx for your quick answer.

Well it's too bad for the backport but you can't maintain every version i guess. :)

Is it going to be rolled out for 7.2 too ? Saw that you support only security fixes.

I saw the quick patch you implemented (https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/5305.patch), I think the same problem appears in PHP_FUNCTION(session_regenerate_id) (line 2226).
I think it should be test against SUCCESS too to realase the id if collision is detected and create a new one.

It has also been pointed in Bug #77178 (this patch should fix this bug too)

Don't know if i should send a pull request or just tell you.
 [2020-03-26 18:20 UTC] cmb@php.net 
> I think the same problem appears in

Indeed.  I've amended the PR.

> Is it going to be rolled out for 7.2 too ?

We *might* make an exception in this case.  That decision would
finally be up to the release managers.
