Description:
------------
Description:
------------
Unserializing DateInterval object may lead to __toString invocation of arbitrary objects.
This in turn may trigger a plethora of bugs.

In php_date.c, php_date_interval_initialize_from_hash, "days" and "special_amount" fields are retrieved through PHP_DATE_INTERVAL_READ_PROPERTY_I64() which perform a zval_get_string() that, in case of Object, call its __toString() method (lines: 4152, 4154 commit 01e798fa360bcd89980d1946503a8e0f8a2fd357).


This issue is mentioned in #70121, but not treated.

PoC:
----
<?php
class foo {
    function __toString() {
        var_dump(0);
        return 'may be a bug';
    }
}
    
unserialize('O:12:"DateInterval":1:{s:4:"days";O:3:"foo":0:{}}');
?>

result: dump of 0 printed. no errors:
expected result: exception in unserialize when expecting string and receiving object.

The fix is in security repo as 1b29e4488e19c89e5b37ecb26acaec443d7f1355 and in https://gist.github.com/8c4125af9766d591072526b25bebce08

please verify

I think it's better testing '== IS_LONG' and '== IS_STRING' explicitly.
Testing '<= IS_STRING' is much more open ended than needed and may cause issues.

Which kind of issues? Could you provide an example of the issue caused by it?
 [2016-09-27 09:19 UTC] yannayl at checkpoint dot com
I don't know of any concrete issue affecting this version, but I am worried that something similar to #68942 (CVE-2015-0273) might happen again.
IMHO avoiding unnecessary conversions makes the code safer.
