Status: Open
Bug Type: Streams related
Operating System: Linux
PHP Version: 5CVS-2006-09-01 (CVS)
New Comment:
The output of the above script does not depend on whatever
"your:local:ipv6:address::here" is replaced with. It should be
something like "your:local:ipv6:address::here:port" - though I'd prefer
"[your:local:ipv6:address::here]:port", but that's another point.
Another thing I noticed: Appending a port number to the binding address
("[your:local:ipv6:address::here]:port") triggers a warning:
Warning: stream_socket_client(): failed to bind to
'your:local:ipv6:address::here:port', system said: Invalid argument in
test.php on line 11

<?php

Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we
need a short but complete example script to be able to reproduce
this bug ourselves.
A proper reproducing script starts with <?php and ends with ?>,
is max. 10-20 lines long and does not require any external
resources such as databases, etc. If the script requires a
database to demonstrate the issue, please make sure it creates
all necessary tables, stored procedures etc.
Please avoid embedding huge scripts into the report.

Description:
------------
Using stream_socket_client() with a context containing a valid local
IPv6 binding address does not actually bind the socket to that address,
but fails silently. This is a "side effect" of a possible buffer
overflow:
In main/network.c, php_network_connect_socket_to_host() uses a "struct
sockaddr", and references it via a pointer to "struct sockaddr_in" or
"struct sockaddr_in6". For IPv4, this is usually sufficient - for IPv6
it is not. Upon the subsequent call to inet_pton(), some memory beyond
the "struct sockaddr" is accessed.
A "struct sockaddr_in" or "struct sockaddr_in6" should be used instead,
depending on the protocol.
PHP6 is affected by this bug, too.
Proposed patch:
http://www-user.tu-chemnitz.de/~chschu/patches/php-stream_socket_client-bind.patch
Reproduce code:
---------------
/* sample code for illegal use of struct sockaddr */
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <arpa/inet.h>
int main(int, char**) {
struct sockaddr local_address;
struct sockaddr_in6 *in6 = (struct sockaddr_in6*)&local_address;
inet_pton(AF_INET6, "::1", &in6->sin6_addr);
}
Expected result:
----------------
Normal program termination.
Actual result:
--------------
"Segmentation fault" on inet_pton().
