From: Operating system: Ubuntu 11.04 PHP version: 5.3.9 Package: PCRE related Bug Type: Bug Bug description:Recursive functions for preg_replace_callback causes SEGFAULT
Description: ------------ Using recursive functions for preg_replace_callback that never ends PHP will exit with a SEGFAULT (unexpected signal 11) due to a function stack overflow. It's expected that it should never end and therefore PHP should abort the execution. However PHP should output a helpful error message rather than just aborting it. Depending on your code this could be a major issue to debug. (I was using Drupal and it look me hours to find the source.) Test script: --------------- <?php function a() { b(); } function b() { a(); } preg_replace_callback("/0/s", 'a', "0"); echo "We made it my friend!"; Expected result: ---------------- Some sort of error message that the callback stack limit has been reached. Actual result: -------------- A 500 Internal Server error (Apache with mod_fcgid) and a SEGFAULT in the error log. -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=60927&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60927&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60927&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60927&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60927&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60927&r=needdocs Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60927&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60927&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60927&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60927&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60927&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60927&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60927&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60927&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60927&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60927&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60927&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60927&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60927&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60927&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60927&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60927&r=mysqlcfg
