Description:
------------
php_strtr_hash will read out if bounds if the pattern length is bigger than the frist argument to strtr, this can be seen easier when the first argument is casted to string instead of passed as a regular string.

-----------------------------------------

Source code  

https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/PHP-5.6.24/ext/standard/string.c#L2853

static inline HASH php_strtr_hash(const char *str, int len)
{
    HASH	res = 0;
    int		i;
    for (i = 0; i < len; i++) {
        res = res * 33 + (unsigned char)str[i];   // str[i] read out of bounds
    }

    return res;
}

I can confirm this issue.

> p/d pos + d->m - d->B ==> -3

This happens in php_strtr_array_prepare()[1], because patnum is 0
in this case. Unfortunately, the assert doesn't catch this case.
Anyhow, the solution is to not call php_strtr_array_prepare()[2],
if patterns_len is 0, but to return the given str instead.

For the record: PHP 7 is not affected, as strtr() had been
reimplemented with
<https://github.com/php/php-src/commit/b1ff1527>.
