Status: No Feedback
Bug Type: PCRE related
Operating System: FreeBSD 7
PHP Version: 5.2.6
New Comment:
I've built PHP 5.2.8 with debugging enabled, and ran the following
script under PHP via the CLI, under gdb:
<?php
$str = str_repeat('a', 1244);
$utf8 =
(preg_match("/^([\x09\x0A\x0D\x20-\x7E]|[\xC2-\xDF][\x80-\xBF]|\xE0[\xA0-\xBF][\x80-\xBF]|[\xE1-\xEC\xEE\xEF][\x80-\xBF]{2}|
\xED[\x80-\x9F][\x80-\xBF]|\xF0[\x90-\xBF][\x80-\xBF]{2}|[\xF1-\xF3][\x80-\xBF]{3}|\xF4[\x80-\x8F][\x80-\xBF]{2})*$/",
$str)) ? "yes
" : "no";
echo $utf8;
?>
It's important to note that if I change the str_repeat() length from
1244 to 1243, the segfault doesn't happen. The system limits:
Resource limits (current):
cputime infinity secs
filesize infinity kB
datasize 786432 kB
stacksize 131072 kB
coredumpsize infinity kB
memoryuse infinity kB
memorylocked infinity kB
maxprocesses 5547
openfiles 11095
sbsize infinity bytes
vmemoryuse infinity kB
Anyway, the results of the gdb backtrace are here (~790KB file):

Hope this helps.

This bug still exists in PHP 5.2.8, which uses its own bundled version
of pcre. FreeBSD 7.1-STABLE is being used here.
I have a customer who is experiencing this problem on a near-daily
basis (logs showing httpd SIGILL regularly).
I can induce a signal 11 from the shell (using PHP CLI) executing the
code provided by "hempalex at gmail dot com" as well as the code
provided by "kaiser at macbureau dot de". The comment from "ale at
FreeBSD.org" also applies -- the value given to str_repeat() does in
fact play a role.
But when run from within Apache (2.2.11 using mod_php), signal 4
(illegal instruction) happens. I'm not sure why from within Apache it's
SIGILL but from the command-line it's SIGSEGV.
Increasing pcre.backtrack_limit and pcre.recursion_limit does not help.
Decreasing them also does not help.
I'd like to urge the PHP folks to take this problem seriously. There
are many of us using FreeBSD who would be more than happy to give you an
account on a development/test system for you to work out the source of
this problem.

again I cannot reproduce this problem. Try to adjust
pcre.backtrack_limit and pcre.recursion_limit to some sane values.

The feedback was provided.
In any case the above script works if the string length is <= 2243 and
stops working if > 2243 'a' chars.

I reproduced this on FreeBSD 7.0 + Apache/2.2.9 + PHP/5.2.6 (bundled
prce)
script:
<?php
$str = str_repeat('a', 10000);
$utf8 =
(preg_match("/^([\x09\x0A\x0D\x20-\x7E]|[\xC2-\xDF][\x80-\xBF]|\xE0[\xA0-\xBF][\x80-\xBF]|[\xE1-\xEC\xEE\xEF][\x80-\xBF]{2}|\xED[\x80-\x9F][\x80-\xBF]|\xF0[\x90-\xBF][\x80-\xBF]{2}|[\xF1-\xF3][\x80-\xBF]{3}|\xF4[\x80-\x8F][\x80-\xBF]{2})*$/",
$str)) ? "yes" : "no";
echo $utf8;
?>
mod_php:
in apache logs: [notice] child pid 54586 exit signal Illegal
instruction (4)
in cli works fine!
