Bug #79434 PHP 7.3 and PHP-7.4 crash with NULL-pointer dereference on !CS constant
Submitted: 2020-03-30 15:53 UTC Modified: 2020-03-31 07:49 UTC
From: bruno dot premont at restena dot lu Assigned:
Status: Closed Package: Scripting Engine problem
PHP Version: 7.3.16 OS: Linux
Private report: No CVE-ID: None
 [2020-03-30 15:53 UTC] bruno dot premont at restena dot lu
Description:
------------
Reproductible:
- PHP-7.3.15-r1
- PHP-7.4.3-r1
Not affected:
- PHP-7.2.28-r1

For all of them, pecl-radius 1.4.0_beta is loaded.


Accessing constants defined by pecl-radius (which are defined as being case-insensitive) in namespaced manner causes PHP to crash (SEGFAULT on 0x01, 1byte within a NULL-pointer).
Accessing the same constant in non-namespaced manner works as expected.

Marking all pecl-radius constants case-sensistive also prevents the crash.


Could not reproduce the same crash with TRUE/FALSE PHP-core constants which are case-insensitive as well.

Test script:
---------------
# following line works:
echo RADIUS_ACCESS_REQUEST;

# following alternate line crashes:
echo \RADIUS_ACCESS_REQUEST);



Actual result:
--------------
Backtrace captured with php-cli-7.3.15-r1 (Gentoo)

Code at zend_execute.c:3373 would be:
  is_deprecated = memcmp(ZSTR_VAL(c->name) + shortname_offset, Z_STRVAL_P(orig_key - 1) + shortname_offset, shortname_len) != 0;

I can confirm the issue; the segfault happens as of commit
88dd38e[1].

Thanks for the radius patch!  While I think it would be reasonable
to make the constant case-sensitive in radius, we still need to
fix the engine crashing on qualified case-insensitive constants.
