![]() If php_random_bytes_throw fails, the nonce will be uninitialized, but still sent to the server. The client nonce is intended to protect against a malicious server. See section 5.10 and 5.12 of RFC 7616 [1], and bullet point 2 below. Tim pointed out that even though it's the MD5 of the nonce that gets sent, enumerating 31 bits is trivial. So we have still a stack information leak of 31 bits. Furthermore, Tim found the following issues: * The small size of cnonce might cause the server to erroneously reject a request due to a repeated (cnonce, nc) pair. As per the birthday problem 31 bits of randomness will return a duplication with 50% chance after less than 55000 requests and nc always starts counting at 1. * The cnonce is intended to protect the client and password against a malicious server that returns a constant server nonce where the server precomputed a rainbow table between passwords and correct client response. As storage is fairly cheap, a server could precompute the client responses for (a subset of) client nonces and still have a chance of reversing the client response with the same probability as the cnonce duplication. Precomputing the rainbow table for all 2^31 cnonces increases the rainbow table size by factor 2 billion, which is infeasible. But precomputing it for 2^14 cnonces only increases the table size by factor 16k and the server would still have a 10% chance of successfully reversing a password with a single client request. This patch fixes the issues by increasing the nonce size, and checking the return value of php_random_bytes_throw(). In the process we also get rid of the MD5 hashing of the nonce.

The PHP Interpreter
PHP is a popular general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited to web development. Fast, flexible and pragmatic, PHP powers everything from your blog to the most popular websites in the world. PHP is distributed under the PHP License v3.01.
Documentation
The PHP manual is available at php.net/docs.
Installation
Prebuilt packages and binaries
Prebuilt packages and binaries can be used to get up and running fast with PHP.
For Windows, the PHP binaries can be obtained from
windows.php.net. After extracting the archive the
*.exe
files are ready to use.
For other systems, see the installation chapter.
Building PHP source code
For Windows, see Build your own PHP on Windows.
For a minimal PHP build from Git, you will need autoconf, bison, and re2c. For a default build, you will additionally need libxml2 and libsqlite3.
On Ubuntu, you can install these using:
sudo apt install -y pkg-config build-essential autoconf bison re2c \
libxml2-dev libsqlite3-dev
On Fedora, you can install these using:
sudo dnf install re2c bison autoconf make libtool ccache libxml2-devel sqlite-devel
Generate configure:
./buildconf
Configure your build. --enable-debug
is recommended for development, see
./configure --help
for a full list of options.
# For development
./configure --enable-debug
# For production
./configure
Build PHP. To speed up the build, specify the maximum number of jobs using -j
:
make -j4
The number of jobs should usually match the number of available cores, which
can be determined using nproc
.
Testing PHP source code
PHP ships with an extensive test suite, the command make test
is used after
successful compilation of the sources to run this test suite.
It is possible to run tests using multiple cores by setting -jN
in
TEST_PHP_ARGS
:
make TEST_PHP_ARGS=-j4 test
Shall run make test
with a maximum of 4 concurrent jobs: Generally the maximum
number of jobs should not exceed the number of cores available.
The qa.php.net site provides more detailed info about testing and quality assurance.
Installing PHP built from source
After a successful build (and test), PHP may be installed with:
make install
Depending on your permissions and prefix, make install
may need super user
permissions.
PHP extensions
Extensions provide additional functionality on top of PHP. PHP consists of many essential bundled extensions. Additional extensions can be found in the PHP Extension Community Library - PECL.
Contributing
The PHP source code is located in the Git repository at github.com/php/php-src. Contributions are most welcome by forking the repository and sending a pull request.
Discussions are done on GitHub, but depending on the topic can also be relayed to the official PHP developer mailing list internals@lists.php.net.
New features require an RFC and must be accepted by the developers. See Request for comments - RFC and Voting on PHP features for more information on the process.
Bug fixes don't require an RFC. If the bug has a GitHub issue, reference it in
the commit message using GH-NNNNNN
. Use #NNNNNN
for tickets in the old
bugs.php.net bug tracker.
