From: Operating system: CentOS 5.5 PHP version: Irrelevant Package: IMAP related Bug Type: Bug Bug description:Buffer overflow error in imap_headerinfo can not be suppressed
Description: ------------ This is related to https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=50977 There are really two bugs here: 1 - the bug linked above - the buffer overflow when a message has too many addresses in the "To: " field (my test case had 580+) 2 - The fact that I can not suppress the error and continue script execution Here is the error that is generated due to #1: [Mon Sep 12 17:14:42 2011] [error] [client 10.1.XXX.XXX] PHP Fatal error: imap_headerinfo() [<a href='function.imap-headerinfo'>function.imap-headerinfo</a>]: Address buffer overflow in /home/jrthomer/XXXXX/trunk/www/lib/imap.php on line 805, referer: https://example.com/jrthomer_qa/index.php The imap_headerinfo call never returns. The script is aborted. The bigger problem is that no attempt at suppressing the error and continuing processing is working. Typically we can catch an error like this with a try/catch if the function returns an exception. If it does not (worst case scenario), we can suppress all errors with the "@" prefix before the function call. In this case, neither worked. Additionally, I tried set_error_handler with a custom error handler. The error handler catches errors that I manually trigger using trigger_error (and the script continues processing), but it does *not* get called for the error that is pasted above. The script below is an example that shows all the error handling methods I have tried that are not working. Test script: --------------- function suppress_all_errors($errno, $errstr, $errfile, $errline) { print("there was an error calling imap_headerinfo {$errno}, {$errstr}, {$errfile}, {$errline}"); }; function getMessageHeaderInfo($objConn, $intUID, $blFullAttachmentDetails = false) { $intMessageNumber = imap_msgno($objConn, $intUID); // this works (in other words, connection and message UID are okay) $objHdr = false; try { set_error_handler("suppress_all_errors", E_ALL); // this error ends up in my error "suppress_all_errors" error handler trigger_error("test", E_ERROR); // the following line results in an error in the logs and aborts the script // note that the try/catch does not work (no exception is thrown), // the @ error suppressor does not work (the error is still logged and the script is aborted) // and the custom error handler set above does not get triggered $objHdr = @imap_headerinfo($objConn, $intMessageNumber); // <--- ERROR IS HERE restore_error_handler(); } catch (Exception $e) { print("error getting imap_headerinfo: {$e}"); } } Expected result: ---------------- Two expected results: 1 - there should not be a buffer overflow 2 - in the event of the buffer overflow, I should be able to continue script execution -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=55675&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55675&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55675&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55675&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55675&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55675&r=needdocs Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55675&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55675&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55675&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55675&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55675&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55675&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55675&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55675&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55675&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55675&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55675&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55675&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55675&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55675&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55675&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55675&r=mysqlcfg
