From:             michkol at gmail dot com
Operating system: Linux
PHP version:      5.2.11
PHP Bug Type:     Apache2 related
Bug description:  Source code is sometimes sent to the browser

Description:
------------
PHP responds to some invalid POST requests with an error message that
includes the source code.


Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$dblogin = 'admin';
$dbpass = 'secret';
mysql_connect('localhost', $dblogin, $dbpass);
echo 'some output';
?>


$ telnet localhost 80
POST /test.php HTTP/1.0
Content-Length: -75000000



Expected result:
----------------
The code of a script should be never sent to clients. This is a severe
security flaw.

Apache/PHP should just send a 413 error, without the code, for example:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<html><head>
<title>413 Request Entity Too Large</title>
</head><body>
<h1>Request Entity Too Large</h1>
The requested resource<br />/test.php<br />
does not allow request data with POST requests, or the amount of data
provided in
the request exceeds the capacity limit.
</body></html>


Actual result:
--------------
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<html><head>
<title>413 Request Entity Too Large</title>
</head><body>
<h1>Request Entity Too Large</h1>
The requested resource<br />/test.php<br />
does not allow request data with POST requests, or the amount of data
provided in
the request exceeds the capacity limit.
</body></html>
<?php
$dblogin = 'admin';
$dbpass = 'secret';
mysql_connect('localhost', $dblogin, $dbpass);
echo 'some output';
?>
