Description:
------------
One of the IS_ABSOLUTE_PATH macro in zend_virtual_cwd.h file does not verify that the path is not null. This could lead to a null pointer dereference issue.

I triggered the issue through ZipArchive::addPattern function and ZTS (Zend Thread Safety) enabled, but maybe it could be triggered via different vectors.

http://php.net/manual/en/ziparchive.addpattern.php reports that the default value of $path argument is "." but in my test it was null.

--- zend_virtual_cwd.h (line 112) ---

#ifndef IS_ABSOLUTE_PATH
#define IS_ABSOLUTE_PATH(path, len) \
        (IS_SLASH(path[0]))
#endif

---

--- php_zip.c (line 609) ---

#ifdef ZTS
if (!IS_ABSOLUTE_PATH(path, path_len)) {
   result = VCWD_GETCWD(cwd, MAXPATHLEN);

---




Test script:
---------------
--- PHP test script ---

$zip = new ZipArchive();
$zip->open("foo.zip", ZIPARCHIVE::CREATE);
$zip->addPattern("/\./");

---

--- PHP build ---

$ ./configure --enable-zip --enable-maintainer-zts

---

Actual result:
--------------
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
