Heap-use-after-free in zend_array_count at Zend/zend_hash.c

Ispeziona Zend/zend_hash.c intorno alla riga 478 e riproduci lo script PHP fornito con la configurazione di build documentata di AddressSanitizer. Il lavoro è completato quando il riproduttore non segnala più un heap-use-after-free in zend_array_count.

Description

The following code:

<?php
class Foo {
    public function __destruct() {
        $a[0] =&$a;
        $a =   $this->$$a =   $this->#destruct() {
            $a = unserialize(serialize($GLOBALS));
        }
    }

$c = new Foo();
for($cnt=0;$cnt<6;$cnt++) {
    $a = unserialize(serialize($GLOBALS));
    $a.= unserialize(serialize($GLOBALS));
    $a = unserialize(serialize($GLOBALS));
}

Resulted in this output:
