Description:
------------
There is a buffer over flow vulnerability when parsing tar/zip/phar via the PHAR & PHARData class. The vulnerability is in phar_set_inode() @  phar_internal.h:535.

A buffer is allocated at @  phar_internal.h:536
char tmp[MAXPATHLEN];

On my 64bits ubuntu, MAXPATHLEN = 0x1000

The vulnerability is triggered further down @  phar_internal.h:540
	tmp_len = entry->filename_len + entry->phar->fname_len;
	memcpy(tmp, entry->phar->fname, entry->phar->fname_len);
	memcpy(tmp + entry->phar->fname_len, entry->filename, entry->filename_len); 


There is no validation that tmp_len is smaller then MAXPATHLEN.  Both entry->filename_len & entry->phar->fname_len are obtained directly from the file and thus controllable by an attacker. This results in a buffer-over-flow vulnerability in the subsequent memcopy.


There are multiple pathways to trigger this vulnerable point:
-Parsing Tar file
-Pharsing Phar file
-Pharsing Zip file


Test script:
---------------
I've created both a tar and zip archive that triggers this vulnerability:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/al8x6v7cv6yr72g/POC_BOF_Php_phar_set_inode.zip?dl=0

Test Environment:
-x64 ubuntu
./configure --enable-zip --enable-debug


Actual result:
--------------
