Description:
------------
When a double value stored within the session file, the web server
might crash. It was a mystical problem for us. To solve this issue,
there need some workaround at the VAR_UNSERIALIZER.RE source code:
"d:" (iv | nv | nvexp) ";" {
*p = YYCURSOR;
INIT_PZVAL(*rval);
ZVAL_DOUBLE(*rval, atof(start + 2));
return 1;
}
The problem is the difference in the implementation of the function
'atof'. While general C implementations looks ahead until a non digital
character found, microsoft C tries to determine the string's length
with a call to 'strlen'. This can couse the crash some times, when the
accessible memory doesn't contain '\0'. The report about the memory
dump is following in the 'Reproducible code' section. For a quick sight
I placed the various implementations of the 'atof' function within the
'Expected result' block.
As we figured out, this issue comes up only when unserializing
sessions, not zval represented strings, as those zvals are closed with
'\0'.

Here is the report from Microsoft. They thought somthings wrong with
PHP... :)
