Bug #79535 PHP crashes with specific opcache.optimization_level
Submitted: 2020-04-29 10:44 UTC Modified: 2020-05-04 11:09 UTC

Status: Closed Package: opcache
PHP Version: 7.3.17 OS: Windows, Linux
Private report: No CVE-ID: None

Description:
------------
I was able to reproduce the crash with PHP 7.3.17 on Linux and PHP 7.3.3 on Windows. 

I have a Joomla installation with some extensions installed. The crash comes when opcache.optimization_level has the following values:
0xfffffaaf
0xfffffabf
0xfffffbbf
0xfffffbaf

The same crash does not happen if 
- opcode cache disabled 
- xdebug and opcode cache enabled
- opcode cache enabled and opcache.optimization_level has the following values:0xfffffa9f, 0xfffffadf, 0xfffffacf, 0xfffffccf, 0xfffffbcf, 0xffffffff

On PHP 7.3.3 Windows has no response in the browser the apache log says:
[mpm_winnt:notice] [pid 7112:tid 572] AH00428: Parent: child process 25244 exited with status 3221225477 -- Restarting.

On PHP 7.3.17 there was the last opened output buffer printed on the screen and functions with register_shutdown_function gets called.

WinDBG shows the following:

I was unable to create test script as I'm not sure what could be the cause and the current environment is too complex.

I'm not sure if it help, but changing:
protected function newFormatter() {
    return new $className;
}

to 
protected function newFormatter() {
    return new Compressed;
}

seems to solve the issue, but it might be unrelated...

Just to be sure: are there Xdebug and file_cache(_fallback)
involved?

When file_cache is enabled, and you switch Xdebug on and off,
crashes are to be expected.  That issue has already been reported
as bug #75886.

Ah, but file_cache is not enabled in your case!

Can you please try with a recent PHP version on Windows, and
provide a *debug* backtrace, see
<https://bugs.php.net/bugs-generating-backtrace-win32.php>.

I didn't originally used xdebug and xdebug was only on a single server installed. I was able to reproduce this crash on 3 different server and on two xdebug was not installed. So I do not think it is xdebug related. 

If I added opcache_reset() to my index.php it was good all the time. After removed, it crashed.

Can you download it from here? Is it contains what you need?

Thanks for the analysis report using PHP 7.3.17!  It contains the
following slightly different backtrace (unfortunately, again
without line numbers, but these might not be that helpful anyway):

php7ts!object_and_properties_init+d 
php7ts!ZEND_NEW_SPEC_VAR_UNUSED_HANDLER+40 
php7ts!execute_ex+5f 
php7ts!zend_call_function+2d0 
php7ts!zif_call_user_func_array+da 
php7ts!ZEND_DO_FCALL_BY_NAME_SPEC_RETVAL_UNUSED_HANDLER+ac 
php7ts!execute_ex+5f 
php7ts!zend_execute+1a8 
php7ts!zend_execute_scripts+b9 
php7ts!php_execute_script+261 
php7apache2_4!php_handler+591 

Anyhow, assuming that the OPcache instance isn't shared across
different PHP configurations, it looks like some combinations of
optimizations are not properly supported, which may result in
segfaults (likely trying to read offsets of NULL).

@roland, I suggest to stick with one of the working optimization
levels or just the default (0x7FFEBFFF).

I can't do anything about this without a way to reproduce.

The only suggestion I have is to make sure that the optimization level is masked with 0xfffeffff, which disables an unsafe (in the sense of "can crash" rather than "can cause misbehavior") optimization, though I doubt that is the actual cause.

Good news! I was able to create a reduced test case where this bug happens. Could you verify that the crash happens for you too?

https://www.dropbox.com/s/3jp5dzyfzmurxcc/php-bug-79535.zip?dl=1

Run index.php

The desired output: html{padding:0;}Hello World


If you open LessCompiler.php

and replace
    protected function newFormatter() {

        $className = Compressed::class;

        return new $className;
    }

with 

    protected function newFormatter() {

        return new Compressed();
    }

It will work fine. Also when you invalidate opcode cache for LessCompiler.php, then it works for the first load and every other try crashes.

Can confirm that the test case crashes at opcache.optimization_level=0xfffffaaf (but not at the default level).
 [2020-05-04 11:09 UTC] nikic@php.net
Minimal:

function create() {
    $name = stdClass::class;
    return new $name;
}
var_dump(create());

with -d opcache.optimization_level=0x000000a0 (only SCCP)

Has something to do with the FETCH_CLASS cache slot.
