RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Robert Vogelgesang 2010-09-30 09:55:50 UTC 
Created attachment 450704 [details]
Patch to clear the compression flag for integer, float, and boolean data

Description of problem:
php-pecl-memcache has a bug preventing the successful storage of integer, float,
or boolean values in memcached.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
php-5.3.2-4.el6.x86_64
php-pecl-memcache-3.0.4-3.2.el6.2.x86_64
memcached-1.4.4-3.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always when storing and retrieving integer, float, or boolean values, with compression enabled.

Steps to Reproduce:
Example scripts that reproduce the bug can be found in upstreams bug tracker at:
http://pecl.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=16442
  
Actual results:
Retrieving a stored value fails, the stored value is lost, and PHP logs a message with level NOTICE:
MemcachePool::get(): Failed to uncompress data

Expected results:
Retrieving a stored value should succeed and return the stored value.

Additional info:
The upstream author changed php-pecl-memcache so that compression is never used to store values of integer, float, and boolean types, but forgot to clear the compression flag in case it should be set.  Because of this, values that were stored this way fail decompression on retrieval, because they are not compressed in the first place.

The attached patch fixes the issue.
Comment 2 Robert Vogelgesang 2010-10-06 11:43:24 UTC 
Upstream has released version 3.0.5 which contains the fix from the patch attached to this Bugzilla entry.  Please upgrade to the latest version.

appropriate and relevant, in the next release of Red Hat
Enterprise Linux. If you would like it considered as an
exception in the current release, please ask your support
representative.
