256,xcache crashes during module shutdown when used together with ionCube Loader,nijel,moo,"When xcache is loaded a s a PHP extension:

extension=xcache.so

Any attempt to execute an ionCube-encoded file crashes PHP w/backtrace like this:

This happens because xCache does not validate the result of

zend_extension *ext = zend_get_extension(XCACHE_NAME);

called in zm_shutdown_xcache (PHP_MSHUTDOWN_FUNCTION(xcache))

I don't know what ionCube Loader does but zend_get_extension(XCACHE_NAME) returns NULL in this case.

When xcache tries to dereference a NULL pointer in

if (ext->shutdown) {

we get a crash.",defect,closed,major,,cacher,1.3.1,fixed,,,,,,Irrelevant,Always,,
