Description:
------------
Fuzzing with AFL has produced this test case which reports (with USE_ZEND_ALLOC=0):
SUMMARY: AddressSanitizer: heap-buffer-overflow /home/cyoung/php/afl/php-src-php-7.1.2RC1/ext/standard/var_unserializer.re:480 finish_nested_data

This seems like it could be related to Hanno's report (https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=73825&edit=2) except that Hanno's test case appears to be fixed in the 7.1.2RC1 source I have from GitHub and I get the expected 'Warning: Bad unserialize data in - on line 2' when running that case.

Test script:
---------------
echo -ne 'O:8:"stdClass":00000000' | ~/php/afl/php-src-php-7.1.2RC1/sapi/cli/php -r 'unserialize(file_get_contents("php://stdin"));'

Actual result:
--------------
echo -ne 'O:8:"stdClass":00000000' | ~/php/afl/php-src-php-7.1.2RC1/sapi/cli/php -r 'unserialize(file_get_contents("php://stdin"));'

Can someone provide feedback on this issue?  It seems an awful lot like CVE-2016-10161 but it is a distinct issue and I am surprised to not hear any feedback on this.

Patch against PHP 7.0, though it should be the same for all versions (modulo generated files): https://gist.github.com/nikic/46c6ce2005c5d5a0f62cc17fc1dddd96

I don't have a testing environment, but this probably also exists in PHP 5.6, so assigning to stas for release management. I think it's okay to not fix this in 5.6, as I don't see any exploitation vector beyond unlikely DOS.
