ID: 55703 Updated by: [email protected] Reported by: eran at zend dot com Summary: PHP crash when calling mysqli_fetch_fields -Status: Open +Status: Duplicate Type: Bug Package: MySQLi related Operating System: Linux Ubuntu 11.04 PHP Version: 5.3.8 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: plz look at #55662. anyway seems not only "explain" statement cause this segfault Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-09-15 15:12:16] eran at zend dot com Description: ------------ Hi, Running the attached test script causes a crash in mysqli extension (in every run). The crash comes from mysqli_api.c, at around line 1058: add_property_string(value, "catalog", (field->catalog ? field->catalog : ""), 1); The member field->catalog contains an address to an uninitialized pointer. Debugging libmysqlclient (self compiled, v5.1.58) shows that libmysqlclient simply left this member uninitialized, thus pointing to an uninitialized memory. To work around this bug, I modified my PHP sources locally so the "catalog" value is always set to "def" (which according to the documentation http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/c-api-data-structures.html is always true) (I also had a patch for libmysqlclient, but I am not sure where to send it...) This crash is reproducible in CLI mode using the test script attached. Attached is the patch to mysqli extension as well. Test script: --------------- <?php $host = '127.0.0.1'; $user = 'user'; $pass = 'password'; $db = 'mydb'; $port = 3306; $link = mysqli_init(); if (mysqli_real_connect($link, $host, $user, $pass, $db, $port)) { $stmt = mysqli_stmt_init($link); if(mysqli_stmt_prepare($stmt, "show processlist")) { $res = mysqli_stmt_execute($stmt); $res_set = mysqli_stmt_result_metadata($stmt); var_dump ( $res_set ); var_dump(mysqli_fetch_fields( $res_set )); } } ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=55703&edit=1
