- - --- 0.Description ---
PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language. Much of its syntax is
borrowed from C, Java and Perl with a couple of unique PHP-specific
features thrown in. The goal of the language is to allow web developers
to write dynamically generated pages quickly.
http://lu2.php.net/manual/en/function.ini-restore.php
ini_restore ? Restores the value of a configuration option
ini_restore ( string $varname )
- - --- 1. PHP 5.2.10/5.3.0 (zend_ini.c) Memory Disclosure ---
The main problem exist in restoring php config environments. To
demonstrate the problem, we need to declare variables via ini_set()
function. When we try use ini_restore(), variables in class PG() will
indicate any part of memory.
- - ---zend_ini.c---
static int zend_restore_ini_entry_cb(zend_ini_entry *ini_entry, int
stage TSRMLS_DC) /* {{{ */
{
if (ini_entry->modified) {
if (ini_entry->on_modify) {
zend_try {
/* even if on_modify bails out, we have to continue on with
restoring,
since there can be allocated variables that would be
freed on MM shutdown
and would lead to memory corruption later ini entry is
modified again */
ini_entry->on_modify(ini_entry, ini_entry->orig_value,
ini_entry->orig_value_length, ini_entry->mh_arg1, ini_entry->mh_arg2,
ini_entry->mh_arg3, stage TSRMLS_CC);
} zend_end_try();
}
if (ini_entry->value != ini_entry->orig_value) {
efree(ini_entry->value);
}
ini_entry->value = ini_entry->orig_value;
ini_entry->value_length = ini_entry->orig_value_length;
ini_entry->modified = 0;
ini_entry->orig_value = NULL;
ini_entry->orig_value_length = 0;
if (ini_entry->modifiable >= (1 << 3)) {
ini_entry->modifiable >>= 3;
}
}
return 0;
}
- - ---zend_ini.c---
Flag modified will be reset, and we can not considered modified variable.
We don't check value of ini_entry->on_modify() and PG() will be now out
of memory range.
To demonstrate this issue

The main problem is started in ini_restore("session.save_path"). To show
this issue, we need use some function with PG() inside (like:
session_start()).

Variable PG(open_basedir) is now out of range. So any function (like:
include()) with
php_error_docref(NULL TSRMLS_CC, E_WARNING, "open_basedir restriction in
effect. File(%s) is not within the allowed path(s): (%s)", path,
PG(open_basedir));
will print memory
examples:

Variables in class PG, may take any value.
So code such as
if (PG(open_basedir) && php_check_open_basedir(new_value TSRMLS_CC))
can be manipulated.
But not only zend_ini.c have issue. When we try use ini_set() and
ini_restore() for error_log, php will crash.
Function OnUpdateErrorLog, dosen't check that new_value is empty (null
point). It should provide to crash.
- - ---main.c---
static PHP_INI_MH(OnUpdateErrorLog)
{
...
/* Only do the safemode/open_basedir check at runtime */
if ((stage == PHP_INI_STAGE_RUNTIME || stage == PHP_INI_STAGE_HTACCESS)
&& strcmp(new_value, "syslog")) {
...
- - ---main.c---
strcmp(3) will check new_value. So new_value can not be NULL.
here:
STD_PHP_INI_ENTRY("error_log", NULL,
PHP_INI_ALL, OnUpdateErrorLog,
error_log, php_core_globals, core_globals)
default error_log is NULL
...("error_log", NULL,...
so if we put some string, and remove it, php should crash
127# php -r 'ini_set("error_log","A");ini_restore("error_log");'
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
127# gdb -q php
(gdb) r -r 'ini_set("error_log","A");ini_restore("error_log");'
Starting program: /usr/local/bin/php -r

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Functions like OnUpdateErrorLog, should check, that new_value is not a
NULL pointer.
