Description Thomas Deutschmann (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2014-08-03 18:47:17 UTC
Hi,

sounds like a dupe bug 376735 just with the current dev-lang/php-5.5.15 version, but because I am seeing this in a non-hardened environment I am creating a new bug.

build.log will be attached.

Do you need a copy of the core dumps?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. # emerge -a1 dev-lang/php
Actual Results:  
After emerging dev-lang/php-5.5.15 "/var/tmp/coredumps" contains 4 core dumps:

# ls -l /var/tmp/coredumps/
total 1392
-rw------- 1 portage portage 491520 Aug  3 20:30 conftest.18848.1407090651
-rw------- 1 portage portage 491520 Aug  3 20:30 conftest.18871.1407090651
-rw------- 1 portage portage 491520 Aug  3 20:30 conftest.7590.1407090628
-rw------- 1 portage portage 491520 Aug  3 20:30 conftest.7613.1407090628


Expected Results:  
No core dumps.

Comment 3 Michael Orlitzky gentoo-dev 2015-11-07 01:01:22 UTC
Is this still a problem for you? If this is a problem in PHP, what we really need (in order to report it upstream) is a backtrace of the crash. You can get a backtrace out of a core dump, but there's a catch: the backtrace isn't very useful unless you compile the thing that crashed with some special flags.

The Quality Assurance project has an awesome page here that gives all of the details:

https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Quality_Assurance/Backtraces

If you're still having the problem, let's try to get a backtrace and figure out where it's crashing.

cli config.log (showing segmentation faults for PID 67878 & 67901)

(In reply to Michael Orlitzky from comment #3)
> Is this still a problem for you?

I cannot judge if it is a _problem_ but I still have multiple segmentation faults by conftest in latest PHP versions.

Creating a backtrace for conftest is not that easy. I hope that the attached config.log shows enough information.

Segfaulting pids:

- 67878
- 67901
- 79461
- 79484

Looks like a problem with the crypt checks.

Comment 6 Michael Orlitzky gentoo-dev 2015-11-09 15:53:47 UTC
Thanks, I've confirmed this and am able to reproduce it. It's been reported a few other places too but never noticed upstream (I don't think):

http://grokbase.com/t/php/php-install/143afs746a/5-5-10-segmentation-fault-at-extended-des-and-blowfish

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/php-configure-segfaults-after-glibc-upgrade-4175536308/

The problem is that with >=glibc-2.17, the crypt() function can return NULL. When conftest.c tries to pass NULL to strcmp(), we get a segfault.

Comment 8 Thomas Deutschmann (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2015-11-09 17:10:44 UTC
Thanks for the patch. I no longer see the segmentation faults when building PHP!
Comment 9 Michael Orlitzky gentoo-dev 2016-03-04 00:40:42 UTC
This was just merged upstream as:

https://github.com/php/php-src/commit/08fce8e2c5de358b9552adf94302f0f798a48d89

If we're lucky this will land in the next round of bugfix releases (5.6.20, 7.0.5), but it may only show up in 7.1.0 whenever that hits.
