Start in ext/curl/interface.c at the ZEND_HASH_FOREACH loops (lines 1568, 2168, 2399) where POSTFIELDS arrays are iterated. Read poc/01-postfields-rehash/poc.php and run it under AddressSanitizer to reproduce the heap-use-after-free. Fix by adding array separation or modification guards as suggested, then confirm ASan reports no error.

Descrição

Bug Status: Needs Triage
Description

Category: heap-use-after-free READ; CWE-416.
Context: curl_setopt(CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $arr) where $arr is a nested
array (['a' => &$sub]) whose inner array is shared with refcount 1, and a
value in the inner array is an object whose __toString() enlarges the
inner array, forcing a rehash while ZEND_HASH_FOREACH iterates it.

Observed: ASan reports heap-use-after-free READ in zval_get_type
(Zend/zend_types.h:685) at build_mime_structure_from_hash
(ext/curl/interface.c:1581), reached from _php_curl_setopt; the freed
320-byte region is the inner array's bucket storage (arData).

Relevant source: ext/curl/interface.c:1568 (ZEND_HASH_FOREACH over the
POSTFIELDS array), :1581 (zval_get_tmp_string invoking __toString);
same unprotected iteration pattern also present at :2168 (slist options)
and :2399 (curl_setopt_array).

Source assessment: the iteration holds no protection against the array
being modified from inside the string conversion callback; the rehash
frees the bucket array the iterator still points into.

Expected: hold a reference/separation on the traversed array, or detect
modification during iteration, as done elsewhere in the engine
(HASH_OF / HASH_PROTECT_RECURSION style guards).

Evidence: asan/CURL-01-postfields-rehash-uaf.asan.txt.
PoC: poc/01-postfields-rehash/poc.php. Note: the inner array must have
refcount 1 (reference-nested) — a top-level array is COW-protected.
