Description:
------------
The latest PHP distributions contain a memory corruption bug while parsing malformed HTTP response packets. Vulnerable code at:
 
php_stream_url_wrap_http_ex /home/weilei/php-7.2.2/ext/standard/http_fopen_wrapper.c:723
 
            if (tmp_line[tmp_line_len - 1] == '\n') {
                --tmp_line_len;
                if (tmp_line[tmp_line_len - 1] == '\r') {
                    --tmp_line_len;
                }
}
 
If the proceeding buffer contains '\r' as either controlled content or junk on stack, under a realistic setting (non-ASAN), tmp_line_len could go do -1, resulting in an extra large string being copied subsequently. Under ASAN a segfault can be observed.
