Description:
------------
This was originally reported in Ubuntu:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php5/+bug/611316

Calling mssql_connect() without all of its string arguments will cause php to 
segfault.

This happens on Ubuntu 10.10 beta, and Ubuntu 10.04. I also compiled php 5.3.3 
vanilla with ./configure --with-mssql=/usr, and the script below caused the 
segfault.

The error is in this code around line 575 of ext/mssql/php_mssql.c:

        char *host = NULL, *user = NULL, *passwd = NULL;
        int host_len, user_len, passwd_len;
        zend_bool new_link = 0;
        char *hashed_details;
        int hashed_details_length;
        mssql_link mssql, *mssql_ptr;
        char buffer[40];

        if (zend_parse_parameters(ZEND_NUM_ARGS() TSRMLS_CC, "|sssb", &host, 
&host_len, &user, &user_len, &passwd, &passwd_len, &new_link) == FAILURE) {
                return;
        }

        /* Limit strings to 255 chars to prevent overflow issues in underlying 
libraries */
        if(host_len>255) {
                host[255] = '\0';
        }
        if(user_len>255) {
                user[255] = '\0';
        }
        if(passwd_len>255) {
                passwd[255] = '\0';
        }

If the optional args are not passed in, the len and host parameters will be 
unchanged, and so a null pointer dereference may occur (depending on the 
arbitrary value of the _len variables).


Test script:
---------------
php -r 'mssql_connect();'



Expected result:
----------------
I would expect the program to exit without crashing.

Actual result:
