Bug #71629 Out-of-bounds access in php_url_decode in context php_stream_url_wrap_rfc2397

Description:
------------
goto-cc (part of the cbmc package) reported that php_url_decode is defined with
size_t parameter and return types in ext/standard/url.c, but main/streams/memory.c for some reason runs its own declaration, using int.

For all systems with sizeof(int)!=sizeof(size_t), the sizeof(size_t)-sizeof(int) bytes will be taken from somewhere on the stack or an uninitialised register. Thus decoding may have some arbitrary behaviour, where a crash is likely the best possible case - it's an out-of-bounds memory access.

Best,
Michael

It seems I cannot add a patch to a security-tagged bug report (authentication error), hence posting it here:

Don't see security issue here. Definition should be fixed though.
