Bug description:\0 causes error_log strings to be truncated
Description:
------------
A string containing "\0" passed into error_log() causes the message to be
truncated after that character. This is especially apparent when a log
message
contains a serialized object which has private properties, as their
serialization
key is \0classname\0propname.
file_put_contents is not affected, nor is using error_log with the
destination
parameter; only when using the ini setting.
Digging around through source, it looks like it's caused by the use of c
strlen()
in xbuf_format_converter (main/spprintf.c:576) which assumes
null-terminated
strings, called by vspprintf() -> ssprintf() -> php_log_err()
Happens in 5.4.x as well as a just-built git master 5.6.0-dev
Test script:
---------------
<?php
class a {
private $b = 'c';
}
$obj = new a;
$str = serialize($obj);
ini_set('error_log', '/Users/eric/Desktop/error_log.log');
error_log($str); // truncated
file_put_contents('/Users/eric/Desktop/fpc.log', $str); // ok
error_log($str, 3, '/Users/eric/Desktop/error_log_param.log'); // ok
Expected result:
----------------
All three files should contain the following string:
O:1:"a":1:{s:4:"ab";s:1:"c";}
(note that "ab" is actually "\0a\0b")
Hex dump:
4F 3A 31 3A 22 61 22 3A 31 3A 7B 73 3A 34 3A 22 00 61 00 62 22 3B 73 3A 31
3A 22
63 22 3B 7D
Actual result:
--------------
error_log.log contains only the following:
[16-Mar-2013 04:23:06 UTC] O:1:"a":1:{s:4:"
(the timestamp is not relevant)
4F 3A 31 3A 22 61 22 3A 31 3A 7B 73 3A 34 3A 22 0A
The other two files (error_log_param.log, fpc.log) correctly record the
full
string.
