 Status:           Open
 Bug Type:         Scripting Engine problem
 Operating System: Linux 2.4.18
 PHP Version:      4.2.2
 New Comment:

It would be nice if you could give an exact description of what
descriptors are open for you. Like a directory listing
...
ls -la /proc/pidofapache/fd

BTW: The opened script fd can be leaked without any security impact.

And it is an apache bug that the fds are leaked. PHP does no
accept (its the apache child that accepts). And mysql etc... sockets
are opened by the mysqlclient libs... these are responsible for setting
the close on exec flag, not PHP.

I got the e-mail stating to try the latest tarball. I downloaded it and
grep'ed around. I am not sure how to build a rpm of php that is 100%
compatible with RedHat 8.0. The e-mail back was terse and didn't say
the problem was replicated or fixed. The tarball has no CHANGELOG.
Grep'ing did not show FD_CLOEXEC. 

Since I am not sure about building a rpm and I cannot find what the fix
was, how am I to provide feedback? Was the problem replicated? Did your
testing show its now fixed? What files were changed? Are there diffs of
the affected code?

Upon investigating the php engine as shipped by RedHat 8.0 with the
env_audit program, I have found that php is leaking descriptors (above
and beyond what apache is leaking). One descriptor is the php webpage
being executed, and 2 copies of the socket returned from accept appear
to be leaked. The env_audit program is listed at freshmeat.net, it
comes with instructions to audit php.

The fix is to add a fcntl(fd, FD_CLOEXEC) after accept and after
opening the page.
