Description:
------------
A big phar file name causes multiples illegal memory access, in memchr funcion, when filename length is bigger than 0x7fffffff inside the isValidPharFilename  method.

Source code:
https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/master/ext/phar/phar.c#L1887

int phar_detect_phar_fname_ext(const char *filename, int filename_len, const char **ext_str, int *ext_len, int executable, int for_create, int is_complete) /* {{{ */
{
        const char *pos, *slash;

        *ext_str = NULL;
        *ext_len = 0;

        if (!filename_len || filename_len == 1) {
                return FAILURE;
        }

        phar_request_initialize();
        /* first check for alias in first segment */
        pos = memchr(filename, '/', filename_len);              // Illegal access
...
        pos = memchr(filename + 1, '.', filename_len);          // Illegal access
next_extension:
        if (!pos) {
                return FAILURE;
        }

        while (pos != filename && (*(pos - 1) == '/' || *(pos - 1) == '\0')) {
                pos = memchr(pos + 1, '.', filename_len - (pos - filename) + 1); // Illegal access
                if (!pos) {
                        return FAILURE;
                }
        }

        slash = memchr(pos, '/', filename_len - (pos - filename));
