segfault in zif_spl_autoload

[Rowan Wookey]

Binary package hint: php5-cgi

Ubuntu version: 10.04.2
PHP 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.9 with Suhosin-Patch (cgi-fcgi) (built: May 3 2011 00:43:15)

When running a php script under cgi it segfaults, the gdb report is attached, I searched for similar bug reports and the only one I could find is http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=49867 which has been fixed upstream but I don't know if it has been applied here.

Disabling a custom session save handler stops the segfault, so it sounds similar to the bug reported a php.net

ok I'm sure this is the same one as in the php.net report, I added a work around shown here http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=49867#1281635073 and that resolves the issue.

I also checked with a compiled version of php5.3.6 and that doesn't have the issue.

Thanks for the bug report, and investigating it.

Used the test case on the php bug tracker to confirm that this issue exists in Lucid / 10.04.2. I could not reproduce it on the current development release, therefore marking it Fix Released for that, and opening a task against Lucid. It could be present in the interim releases, but I have not attempted to reproduce on these.

As there is a valid work around, marking 'Low' - unless more information is provided that shows it has a higher impact.

Thanks.

lucid has seen the end of its life and is no longer receiving any updates. Marking the lucid task for this ticket as "Won't Fix".
