Description:
------------
in xml_utf8_encode function, the safe_emalloc did not check value it alloc for string, which used to store the result of encoded buffer. This cause the length of string after encode > INT_MAX.

PHPAPI char *xml_utf8_encode(const char *s, int len, int *newlen, const XML_Char *encoding)
{
..... 
newbuf = safe_emalloc(len, 4, 1); //<- muse check size of safe_emalloc here,
....
	} else if (c < 0x800) {
		newbuf[(*newlen)++] = (0xc0 | (c >> 6));
		newbuf[(*newlen)++] = (0x80 | (c & 0x3f));
...
}

Test script:
---------------
<?php                                     
ini_set('memory_limit', -1);              
$a = str_repeat('Ã', (0xffffffff/6) - 10);
$b = utf8_encode($a);                     
?>

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