Description:
------------
An attacker can conduct cross-site scripting attack because of incorrect 
implementation of php_info_print_stream_hash function in phpinfo in PHP.

Vulnerability exists in /ext/sqlite3/ info.c file. Here is the vulnerable code:
static void php_info_print_stream_hash(const char *name, HashTable *ht TSRMLS_DC) 
/* {{{ */ {
			...
			while (zend_hash_get_current_key_ex(ht, &key, &len, NULL, 
0, &pos) == HASH_KEY_IS_STRING)
			{
				php_info_print(key);
				...

Test script:
---------------
<?php
	stream_filter_register("<script>alert('Positive')</script>","a");
	phpinfo();
?>

Unfortunately most of PHP output functions are vulnerable in the same way...

For example, built-in echo function:

$a = "<script>alert('Positive')</script>";
echo $a; // echo IS VULNERABLE!!!11oneoneeleven

Seriously, healthy programmer never allows untrusted data (user input) to be passed to stream_filter_register() as well as to other functions.

Moreover, phpinfo() should never be exposed.

I can't imagine this bug ever causing any real security problems but whenever outputting anything to the browser that could contain html entities they should 
be encoded. So php_info_print should probably be modified to use htmlentities so 
if it ever tried to print a '&' or '<' to the browser it will be displayed 
properly.

Added patch. It's a really simple change to use php_info_print_html_esc when 
appropriate. We do the same thing with other functions like 
php_print_gpcse_array()
