PHP version: 4.4.4
PHP Bug Type: XMLRPC-EPI related
Bug description: xmlrpc_encode_request(666, array()) crashes php
Description:
------------
xmlrpc_encode_request(666, array()) brings apache and php down in flames.
I know that a user would better not use this, but instead
xmlrpc_encode_request('666', array()), but
- the xmlrpc spec allows method names to be made of numbers only
- php is weakly typed
- a php error msg would be better than a php crash anyway
BTW: the bug is on line 674 of xmlrpc-epi.php.c (as of 4.4.3), where the
zval string value is used without proper checking for its type first.
Afaict a cast to string before using the value would fix it.
